If the control comes down to the loop then surely the VSI is already part of an aggregator (old). The aggregator vsi list should have that VSI information. My understanding is that if control comes here then you always find a valid entry and matching handle here. If that doesn't happen then we need to debug. The fix is kind of masking this problem.

The bugs are here: if (old_agg_vsi_info) if (old_agg_vsi_info && !old_agg_vsi_info->tc_bitmap[0]) {
The list iterator value 'old_agg_vsi_info' will *always* be set and non-NULL by list_for_each_entry_safe(), so it is incorrect to assume that the iterator value will be NULL if the list is empty or no element found (in this case, the check 'if (old_agg_vsi_info)' will always be true unexpectly).
To fix the bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator, while use the original variable 'old_agg_vsi_info' as a dedicated pointer to point to the found element.
Yep. This looks correct to me.
