[PATCH 3/5] mm/vmalloc: Initialize VA's list node after unlink

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Tue Jun 07 2022 - 05:36:06 EST


A vmap_area can travel between different places. For example
attached/detached to/from different rb-trees. In order to
prevent fancy bugs, initialize a VA's list node after it is
removed from the list, so it pairs with VA's rb_node which
is also initialized.

There is no functional change as a result of this patch.
