Subject: [PATCH] Fix array overflow in CFQ

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

gcc 4.5 complains when compiling a recent rc with

linux/block/cfq-iosched.c: In function ‘cfq_dispatch_requests’:
linux/block/cfq-iosched.c:2156:3: warning: array subscript is above array bounds

and it is right:

 slice = group_slice * count /
                max_t(unsigned, cfqg->busy_queues_avg[cfqd->serving_prio],
                      cfq_group_busy_queues_wl(cfqd->serving_prio, cfqd, cfqg));

busy_queues_avg can be indexed by this enum

enum wl_prio_t {
        BE_WORKLOAD = 0,
        RT_WORKLOAD = 1,
        IDLE_WORKLOAD = 2,
};

in cfqd->serving_prio, but is only declared as

unsigned int busy_queues_avg[2];

which is clearly off by one. Fix this here.
