Subject: [PATCH 0/1] wait: using uninitialized member of wait queue
Date: Tue,  5 Oct 2010 12:47:56 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1286193121.git.EXT-Eugeny.Kuznetsov@nokia.com> (raw)

Hi,

Here is patch which fixes bug in /include/linux/wait.h file.
Member "flags" of "wait_queue_t" struct  is used in several places in
kernel code without beeing initialized. "flags" is used in bitwise
operations. If it contain dummy data then incorrect flags may be 
used later in code.

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Evgeny
