Subject: [PATCH 3/3] x86/microcode/amd: Add __list_del_entry_valid() in front of __list_del() in free_cache()
Date:   Fri,  3 Sep 2021 00:49:40 +0000
Message-Id: <1630630180-644591-1-git-send-email-jiasheng@iscas.ac.cn>
Precedence: bulk

Directly use __list_del() to remove 'p->plist' might be unsafe,
as we can see from the __list_del_entry_valid() of 'lib/list_debug.c'
that p->plist->prev or p->plist->next may be the LIST_POISON,
or p->list is not a valid double list.
In that case, __list_del() will be corruption.
Therefore, we suggest that __list_del_entry_valid()
should be added in front of the __list_del() in free_cache.
