From: Edward Cree <ecree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4b1bd9db078f7d5332c8601a2f5bd43cf0458fd4 ] It's a resource, not a parameter, so we can't copy it into the new channel's TX queues, otherwise aliasing will lead to resource- management bugs if the channel is subsequently torn down without being initialised. Before the Fixes:-tagged commit there was a similar bug with tsoh_page, but I'm not sure it's worth doing another fix for such old kernels.
