From 1a02d59aba9b61b820517fb135086471c065b573 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Vorontsov Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:09:34 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] kfifo: Make kfifo_initialized work after kfifo_free After kfifo rework it's no longer possible to reliably know if kfifo is usable, since after kfifo_free(), kfifo_initialized() would still return true. The correct behaviour is needed for at least FHCI USB driver. This patch fixes the issue by resetting the kfifo to zero values (the same approach is used in kfifo_alloc() if allocation failed).
