Upstream commit: 1a2fb220edca ("skbuff: Extract list pointers to silence compiler warnings")
Under both -Warray-bounds and the object_size sanitizer, the compiler is upset about accessing prev/next of sk_buff when the object it thinks it is coming from is sk_buff_head. The warning is a false positive due to the compiler taking a conservative approach, opting to warn at casting time rather than access time.
However, in support of enabling -Warray-bounds globally (which has found many real bugs), arrange things for sk_buff so that the compiler can unambiguously see that there is no intention to access anything except prev/next. Introduce and cast to a separate struct sk_buff_list, which contains _only_ the first two fields, silencing the warnings:
In file included from ./include/net/net_namespace.h:39, from ./include/linux/netdevice.h:37, from net/core/netpoll.c:17: net/core/netpoll.c: In function 'refill_skbs': ./include/linux/skbuff.h:2086:9: warning: array subscript 'struct sk_buff[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'struct sk_buff_head[1]' [-Warray-bounds] 2086 | __skb_insert(newsk, next->prev, next, list); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ net/core/netpoll.c:49:28: note: while referencing 'skb_pool' 49 | static struct sk_buff_head skb_pool; | ^~~~~~~~
This also upsets UBSAN, which throws a runtime object-size-mismatch error complaining about skbuff queue helpers, as below, when the kernel is built with clang and -fsanitize=undefined flag set:
UBSAN: object-size-mismatch in ./include/linux/skbuff.h:2023:28 member access within address ffffc90000cb71c0 with insufficient space for an object of type 'struct sk_buff'
This change results in no executable instruction differences.

Again, this diff is modified from the original.
I'm not going to take either of these now, sorry,
