4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Feras Daoud <ferasda@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c586071d1dc8227a7182179b8e50ee92cc43f6d2 ] In order to resolve a situation where a few process delete the same list element in sequence and cause panic, list_del is replaced with list_del_init. In this case if the first process that calls list_del releases the lock before acquiring it again, other processes who can acquire the lock will call list_del_init.
