From 782b94cdf577b4df1feb376f372dccc28e66a771 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lachlan McIlroy Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 11:01:45 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] block: initialise bd_super in bdget() bd_super is currently reset to NULL in kill_block_super() so we rely on previous users of the block_device object to initialise this value for the next user. This quirk was exposed on RHEL5 when a third party filesystem did not always use kill_block_super() and therefore bd_super wasn't being reset when a block_device object was recycled within the cache. This may not be a problem upstream but makes sense to be defensive.
