Subject: mm/memcontrol.c: fix uninitialized variable use in mem_cgroup_move_parent()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.38-rc3~43
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8dba474f034c322d96ada39cb20cac711d80dcb2;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

mm/memcontrol.c: fix uninitialized variable use in mem_cgroup_move_parent()

In mm/memcontrol.c::mem_cgroup_move_parent() there's a path that jumps
to the 'put_back' label

  	ret = __mem_cgroup_try_charge(NULL, gfp_mask, &parent, false, charge);
  	if (ret || !parent)
  		goto put_back;

where we'll

  	if (charge > PAGE_SIZE)
  		compound_unlock_irqrestore(page, flags);

but, we have not assigned anything to 'flags' at this point, nor have we
called 'compound_lock_irqsave()' (which is what sets 'flags').  The
'put_back' label should be moved below the call to
compound_unlock_irqrestore() as per this patch.
