Rustad, Mark D July 18, 2012, 7:06 p.m. UTC
This change eliminates an initialization-order hazard most
recently seen when netprio_cgroup is built into the kernel.

With thanks to Eric Dumazet for catching a bug.

I think dave was going to take John Fastabends patch from earlier today, but
this works just as well.  Long term I'm going to look into delaying
initzlization for cgroups, as it creates a strange initialization state when you
have a module_init routine registered.

Neil, any particular preference between John's and Mark's version
of the fix?

I think they're both perfectly good.  If I had to choose I'd say Marks, just
because its done by initializing data, rather than adding more code to run every
time we create a cgroup.

No problem. For what its worth verified this resolved the netprio
issue on my system as expected.
