Funny enough, it works perfectly. Generally as a test I boot the kernel in a VM and let it fuzz with trinity for a bit, doing that with the code above worked flawlessly. While it works, it's obviously wrong. Why does it work though? Usually there's a list op happening pretty soon after that which brings the list into proper state. I've been playing with a patch that adds a magic value into list_head if CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is set, and checks that magic in the list debug code in lib/list_debug.c. Does it sound like something useful? If so I'll send that patch out.
