tipc_named_node_up() creates a skb list. It passes the list to tipc_node_xmit() which has some code paths that can call skb_queue_purge() which relies on the list->lock being initialised. The spin_lock is only needed if the messages end up on the receive path but when the list is created in tipc_named_node_up() we don't necessarily know if it is going to end up there. Once all the skb list users are updated in tipc it will then be possible to update them to use the unlocked variants of the skb list functions and initialise the lock when we know the message will follow the receive path.

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.
