 from the full list


list_del() in remove_partial() sets poison values for next/prev so there
should no list
corruption but a failure showing the poison values.

static inline void list_del(struct list_head *entry)
{
        __list_del_entry(entry);
        entry->next = LIST_POISON1;
        entry->prev = LIST_POISON2;
}
