Revision 737449236240e30a7bbe99f4d5586b8ed1416763 authored by Mel Gorman on 31 July 2012, 23:45:20 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 01 August 2012, 01:42:48 UTC
Commit b3a27d ("swap: Add swap slot free callback to
block_device_operations") dereferences p->bdev->bd_disk but this is a NULL
dereference if using swap-over-NFS.  This patch checks SWP_BLKDEV on the
swap_info_struct before dereferencing.

With reference to this callback, Christoph Hellwig stated "Please just
remove the callback entirely.  It has no user outside the staging tree and
was added clearly against the rules for that staging tree".  This would
also be my preference but there was not an obvious way of keeping zram in
staging/ happy.

initramfs_data.S
/*
  initramfs_data includes the compressed binary that is the
  filesystem used for early user space.
  Note: Older versions of "as" (prior to binutils 2.11.90.0.23
  released on 2001-07-14) dit not support .incbin.
  If you are forced to use older binutils than that then the
  following trick can be applied to create the resulting binary:


  ld -m elf_i386  --format binary --oformat elf32-i386 -r \
  -T initramfs_data.scr initramfs_data.cpio.gz -o initramfs_data.o
   ld -m elf_i386  -r -o built-in.o initramfs_data.o

  For including the .init.ramfs sections, see include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.

  The above example is for i386 - the parameters vary from architectures.
  Eventually look up LDFLAGS_BLOB in an older version of the
  arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile to see the flags used before .incbin was introduced.

  Using .incbin has the advantage over ld that the correct flags are set
  in the ELF header, as required by certain architectures.
