This commit initialises the xskb's free_list_node when the xskb is allocated. This prevents a potential false negative returned from a call to list_empty for that node, such as the one introduced in commit199d983bc0("xsk: Fix crash on double free in buffer pool") In my environment this issue caused packets to not be received by the xdpsock application if the traffic was running prior to application launch. This happened when the first batch of packets failed the xskmap lookup and XDP_PASS was returned from the bpf program. This action is handled in the i40e zc driver (and others) by allocating an skbuff, freeing the xdp_buff and adding the associated xskb to the xsk_buff_pool's free_list if it hadn't been added already. Without this fix, the xskb is not added to the free_list because the check to determine if it was added already returns an invalid positive result. Later, this caused allocation errors in the driver and the failure to receive packets.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
