      [PATCH] Request queue micropatch · 503be986
      Jonathan Corbet authored
      FYI, I have gotten some most strange results with the equivalent of:
      
           request_queue_t *q = kmalloc(...);
           blk_init_queue(q, ...)
      
      The problem turns out to be that q->backing_dev_info.memory_backed is not
      initialized, leaving it to be whatever was there before.  The end result is
      that my "driver" never saw write requests, but reads came through fine.
      Took a while to figure out that one...
      
      Here's the fix, for what it's worth.  (I had, BTW, tried just zeroing the
      whole structure in blk_init_queue(), but that makes IDE oops at boot - it
      sets q->queuedata early).
