Subject: [PATCH V2] ext4: init pagevec in ext4_da_block_invalidatepages
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:50:37 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <50A01DAD.4080607@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <50A019AE.7090907@redhat.com>

ext4_da_block_invalidatepages is missing a pagevec_init(),
which means that pvec->cold contains random garbage.

This affects whether the page goes to the front or
back of the LRU when ->cold makes it to
free_hot_cold_page()
