[patch 16/16] sch_prio: Fix nla_parse_nested_compat() regression

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Sep 03 2008 - 13:55:29 EST


2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Thomas Graf <tgraf@xxxxxxx>

[ No upstream commit, this is fixing code no longer in 2.6.27 ]

nla_parse_nested_compat() was used to parse two different message
formats in the netem and prio qdisc, when it was "fixed" to work
with netem, it broke the multi queue support in the prio qdisc.
Since the prio qdisc code in question is already removed in the
development tree, this patch only fixes the regression in the
stable tree.

Based on original patch from Alexander H Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxx>
