Please use a standard list_head and standard list operators.

(In all your patches)

1) We do not want to carry a spinlock_t + count per list...

2) We get nice debugging features with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y

Note that we now have skb->list after 
commit d4546c2509b1e9cd082e3682dcec98472e37ee5a ("net: Convert GRO SKB handling to list_head.")

Thanks !
