[PATCH] list_add corruption in slab.c

From: Daniel Yeisley
Date: Tue Mar 25 2008 - 13:49:51 EST


I've been seeing list_add corruption in slab.c on the ES7000 since the
2.6.24.1 kernel. There are several places where the initkmem_list3
array is access by [somevalue + node]. This also needs to be done in
kmem_cache_init().
