[ 08/21] ext4: init pagevec in ext4_da_block_invalidatepages

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jan 18 2013 - 20:20:16 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 66bea92c69477a75a5d37b9bfed5773c92a3c4b4 upstream.

ext4_da_block_invalidatepages is missing a pagevec_init(),
which means that pvec->cold contains random garbage.

This affects whether the page goes to the front or
back of the LRU when ->cold makes it to
free_hot_cold_page()
