net: Add and use skb_list_del_init().
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It documents what is happening, and eliminates the spurious list
pointer poisoning.

In the long term, in order to get proper list head debugging, we
might want to use the list poison value as the indicator that
an SKB is a singleton and not on a list.
