First user of skb_poison_list is in kfree_skb_list_reason, to catch bugs earlier like introduced in commiteedade12f4("net: kfree_skb_list use kmem_cache_free_bulk"). For completeness mentioned bug have been fixed in commitf72ff8b81e("net: fix kfree_skb_list use of skb_mark_not_on_list"). In case of a bug like mentioned commit we would have seen OOPS with: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000870 And content of one the registers e.g. R13: dead000000000800 In this case skb->len is at offset 112 bytes (0x70) why fault happens at 0x800+0x70 = 0x870 Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
