Zachary Amsden b8ea2cb512 [BLOCK] elevator init fixes ... I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace : Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060 .. EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed) .. elevator_init+0x38 blk_init_queu_node+0xc9 floppy_init+0xdb do_initcalls+0x23 init+0x10a init+0x0 Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case due to a race condition. Someone more familiar with the elevator code should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.
