Subject: NULL ptr deref at elv_drain_elevator
Date: Thu, 03 Nov 2011 17:08:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EB2BC88.3070105@suse.cz> (raw)

Hi,

I'm seeing the NULL ptr dereference below on each boot of KVM virtual
machine. q->elevator is NULL. This is next-20111025.

I tried to apply Tejun's patch from:
 https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/30/87
but it doesn't help. Maybe I should revert something?

Scanning for LVM volume groups...
Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
No volume groups found
