-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Daniel Yeisley It looks like there is a bug in init_reap_node() in slab.c that can cause multiple oops's on certain ES7000 configurations. The variable reap_node is defined per cpu, but only initialized on a single CPU. This causes an oops in next_reap_node() when __get_cpu_var(reap_node) returns the wrong value. Fix is below.
