Subject: [PATCH] shmem: fix percpu_counters list corruption
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 20:32:57 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.00.1008172030320.2933@sister.anvils> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LSU.2.00.1008172022140.2868@sister.anvils>
list_add() corruption messages reported from shmem_fill_super()'s recently
introduced percpu_counter_init(): shmem_put_super() needs to remember to
percpu_counter_destroy(). And also check error from percpu_counter_init().
Reported to fix oopses in __free_pipe_info() but I cannot work that out!
