Yes, I have been looking at that and Alexey's patch which introduced the
access to skb->prev (cfr.: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/880717/).

But then I thought that setting skb->prev to NULL is a less risky approach for
-stable.


How would you go about fixing netem instead?

Because, from what I see we basically can enter netem_enqueue here with two
different "types" of skb's. The ones where skb->prev points to the tail of
the list of the segment and the ones where skb->prev points to the
list-head.

Could I match on skb_is_gso() to see if skb->prev is something valid?
