From e3f76e3386ee38e3654e81c2f3933ccca1f2d639 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baruch Siach Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 17:20:53 -0700 Subject: list debugging: warn when deleting a deleted entry Use the magic LIST_POISON* values to detect an incorrect use of list_del on a deleted entry. This DEBUG_LIST specific warning is easier to understand than the generic Oops message caused by LIST_POISON dereference.
