From 48d0764998ad4ab7570afab8bb3bee0fbfa55b2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:59:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nfs: initialize the backing_dev_info when creating the server NFS may free the server structure without ever having used the bdi, so we either need to flag the bdi as being uninitialized or initialize it up front. This does the latter. This fixes a crash with mounting more than one NFS file system, should people ever need that kind of obscure NFS functionality.
