[59/74] block: fix bugs in bio-integrity mempool usage

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Feb 04 2010 - 12:27:23 EST


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

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

From: Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9e9432c267e4047db98b9d4fba95099c6effcef9 upstream.

Fix two bugs in the bio integrity code:

use_bip_pool() always returns 0 because it checks against the wrong limit,
causing the mempool to be used only when regular allocation fails.

When the mempool is used as a fallback we don't free the data properly.
