From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Sage Weil Subject: [PATCH] md: avoid use of broken kzalloc mempool Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 13:54:46 -0700 Message-ID: <1249332888-13440-1-git-send-email-sage@newdream.net> Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: Sage Weil , linux-raid@vger.kernel.org, Neil Brown , stable@kernel.org List-Id: linux-raid.ids The kzalloc mempool does not re-zero items that have been used and then returned to the pool. Manually zero the allocated multipath_bh instead.
