From 72961c4e6082be79825265d9193272b8a1634dec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 17:08:52 -0600 Subject: bfq-iosched: ensure to clear bic/bfqq pointers when preparing request Even if we don't have an IO context attached to a request, we still need to clear the priv[0..1] pointers, as they could be pointing to previously used bic/bfqq structures. If we don't do so, we'll either corrupt memory on dispatching a request, or cause an imbalance in counters. Inspired by a fix from Kees.
