Subject: rc80211_pid: Fix fast_start parameter handling
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26~25^2~8^2~3
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=adeed48090fc370afa0db8d007748ee72a40b578;p=linux-2.6

rc80211_pid: Fix fast_start parameter handling

This removes the fast_start parameter from the rc_pid parameters
information and instead uses the parameter macro when initializing
the rc_pid state. Since the parameter is only used on initialization,
there is no point of making exporting it via debugfs. This also fixes
uninitialized memory references to the fast_start and norm_offset
parameters detected by the kmemcheck utility.  Thanks to Vegard Nossum
for reporting the bug.
