2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Yuri Tikhonov commit dd59b8537f6cb53ab863fafad86a5828f1e889a2 upstream ASYNC_TX: fix dependency chaining In ASYNC_TX we track the dependencies between the descriptors using the 'next' pointers of the structures. These pointers are set to NULL as soon as the corresponding descriptor has been submitted to the channel (in async_tx_run_dependencies()). But, the first 'next' in chain still remains set, regardless the fact, that tx->next is already submitted. This may lead to multiple submisions of the same descriptor. This patch fixes this.
