Edward Cree 8c057efaeb net: core: fix uses-after-free in list processing
In netif_receive_skb_list_internal(), all of skb_defer_rx_timestamp(),
 do_xdp_generic() and enqueue_to_backlog() can lead to kfree(skb).  Thus,
 we cannot wait until after they return to remove the skb from the list;
 instead, we remove it first and, in the pass case, add it to a sublist
 afterwards.
In the case of enqueue_to_backlog() we have already decided not to pass
 when we call the function, so we do not need a sublist.

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.
