Subject: [PATCH] IB/ipoib: Initialize ipoib_neigh list properly
Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:51:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100824205123.2742e194.weiny2@llnl.gov> (raw)

I applied Ralph's "fix dangling pointer references to ipoib_neigh and
ipoib_path" patch to our local RHEL based kernel and experienced crashes in
ipoib_neigh_cleanup.  It turns out ipoib_neigh->list was not initialized
properly.  So the following code from Ralph's patch caused issues.

	if (ipoib_cm_get(neigh))
		ipoib_cm_destroy_tx(ipoib_cm_get(neigh));

Looking at Rolands upstream kernel it appears the same is true upstream.

The patch below initializes ipoib_neigh->list correctly.
