Correct initialization of the cache doubly-linked list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The initialization of the cache doubly-linked list had
|
||
|
|
head->next->prev instead of head->prev->next; this entry is supposed
|
||
|
|
to initialize the ->next entry of the last entry in the list (which
|
||
|
|
points back to the head node.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For clarity, consistently use "head" to refer to the head node; the
|
||
|
|
mixing of "head" and "dev->cache_head" needlessly obfuscated the code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The wild pointer reference caused crashes on some systems.
