X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b34d5257a90c419d67c1c3b52f87a679845ef1e;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

kfifo: fix kernel BUG in dma example

The scatterlist is used uninitialized in kfifo_dma_in_prepare().  This
triggers the following bug if CONFIG_DEBUG_SG=y:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at include/linux/scatterlist.h:65!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Add the proper initialization to avoid the bug.
