commit 21631d2d741a64a073e167c27769e73bc7844a2f upstream. The tx_skb_freelist elements are in a single linked list with the request id used as link reference. The per element link field is in a union with the skb pointer of an in use request. Move the link reference out of the union in order to enable a later reuse of it for requests which need a populated skb pointer. Rename add_id_to_freelist() and get_id_from_freelist() to add_id_to_list() and get_id_from_list() in order to prepare using those for other lists as well. Define ~0 as value to indicate the end of a list and place that value into the link for a request not being on the list. When freeing a skb zero the skb pointer in the request. Use a NULL value of the skb pointer instead of skb_entry_is_link() for deciding whether a request has a skb linked to it. Remove skb_entry_set_link() and open code it instead as it is really trivial now. Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
