Christoph Paasch 9410d386d0 net: Prevent invalid access to skb->prev in __qdisc_drop_all
__qdisc_drop_all() accesses skb->prev to get to the tail of the
segment-list.

With commit 68d2f84a13 ("net: gro: properly remove skb from list")
the skb-list handling has been changed to set skb->next to NULL and set
the list-poison on skb->prev.

With that change, __qdisc_drop_all() will panic when it tries to
dereference skb->prev.

Since commit 992cba7e27 ("net: Add and use skb_list_del_init().")
__list_del_entry is used, leaving skb->prev unchanged (thus,
pointing to the list-head if it's the first skb of the list).
This will make __qdisc_drop_all modify the next-pointer of the list-head
and result in a panic later on:

This patch makes sure that skb->prev is set to NULL when entering
netem_enqueue.

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.
