Guenter Roeck 3c0efcd608 lib/list_debug.c: Detect uninitialized lists
[ Upstream commit 0cc011c576aaa4de505046f7a6c90933d7c749a9 ]

In some circumstances, attempts are made to add entries to or to remove
entries from an uninitialized list.  A prime example is
amdgpu_bo_vm_destroy(): It is indirectly called from
ttm_bo_init_reserved() if that function fails, and tries to remove an
entry from a list.  However, that list is only initialized in
amdgpu_bo_create_vm() after the call to ttm_bo_init_reserved() returned
success.  This results in crashes such as

Check if the list's prev and next pointers are NULL to catch such problems.

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.
