Subject: [PATCH] zswap: init under_reclaim
Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:19:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371151154-22360-1-git-send-email-sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Bob Liu reported a memory leak in zswap.  This was due to the
under_reclaim field in the zbud header not being initialized
to 0, which resulted in zbud_free() not freeing the page
under the false assumption that the page was undergoing
zbud reclaim.

This patch properly initializes the under_reclaim field.
