From 17a801f4bfeb8d55df1b05fa7adb16ada504e765 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Metcalf Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 15:07:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] list_debug: WARN for adding something already in the list We were bitten by this at one point and added an additional sanity test for DEBUG_LIST. You can't validly add a list_head to a list where either prev or next is the same as the thing you're adding.
