From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit cdda0e5acbb78f7b777049f8c27899e5c5bb368f upstream. Calling the workqueue interface on uninitialized work items isn't a good idea even if they're zeroed. It's not failing catastrophically only through happy accidents.
