You should also backport this patch(*): 96b010536ee0 efi/cper: align ARM CPER type with UEFI 2.9A/2.10 specs It fixes a bug at the UEFI parser for the ARM Processor Error record: basically, the specs were not clear about how the error type should be reported. The Kernel implementation were assuming that this was an enum, but UEFI errata 2.9A make it clear that the value is a bitmap. So, basically, all kernels up to 6.18 are not parsing the field the expected way: only "Cache error" was properly reported. The other 3 types were wrong. (*) You could need to backport those patches as well: a976d790f494 efi/cper: Add a new helper function to print bitmasks 8ad2c72e21ef efi/cper: Adjust infopfx size to accept an extra space Regards, Mauro Thanks, Mauro

Sasha, This is a fix for a new feature that was queued for and is now added to 6.19. So backporting this to stable and LTS kernels is not advisable. -- Damien Le Moal Western Digital Research

Re: Patch "block: mq-deadline: Remove support for zone write locking" has been added to the 6.6-stable tree

Sasha, Zone write locking in the mq-deadline scheduler was replaced with the generic zone write plugging in the block layer in 6.10. That was not backported as that is a new feature. So removing zone write locking in 6.6 will break support for SMR drives and other zoned block devices. Removing it from 6.6 is thus not OK. Please undo this. > commit bf2022eaa2291ad1243b0711d5bd03ba4105ffbb > Author: Damien Le Moal <dlemoal(a)kernel.org> > Date: Mon Apr 8 10:41:21 2024 +0900 > > block: mq-deadline: Remove support for zone write locking > > [ Upstream commit fde02699c242e88a71286677d27cc890a959b67f ] > > With the block layer generic plugging of write operations for zoned > block devices, mq-deadline, or any other scheduler, can only ever > see at most one write operation per zone at any time.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.17] ALSA: hda/realtek: Add support for ASUS UM3406GA

by Sasha Levin

From: Stefan Binding <sbinding(a)opensource.cirrus.com> [ Upstream commit 826c0b1ed09e5335abcae07292440ce72346e578 ] Laptops use 2 CS35L41 Amps with HDA, using External boost, with I2C Signed-off-by: Stefan Binding <sbinding(a)opensource.cirrus.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251205150614.49590-3-sbinding@opensource.cirrus.… Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai(a)suse.de> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus: ## Commit Analysis: ALSA: hda/realtek: Add support for ASUS UM3406GA ### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS The commit message is straightforward: it adds support for a specific ASUS laptop model (UM3406GA) that uses 2 CS35L41 amplifiers connected via I2C with external boost. The message describes the hardware configuration, which is standard for such device ID additions. No Fixes: or Cc: stable tags are present, but as noted, this is expected for commits requiring manual review. ### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS The entire change is a single line addition: ```c SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1584, "ASUS UM3406GA ", ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2), ``` This adds: - Vendor ID: 0x1043 (ASUS) - Device/Subsystem ID: 0x1584 (ASUS UM3406GA) - Fixup: `ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2` (an **existing** fixup already used by many other ASUS models) Looking at the surrounding code, multiple other ASUS laptops use the same fixup: - ASUS PM3406CKA (0x1454) - ASUS G513PI/PU/PV (0x14e3) - ASUS G733PY/PZ/PZV/PYV (0x1503) - ASUS GV302XA/XJ/XQ/XU/XV/XI (0x1533) - ASUS UM3402YAR (0x1683) ### 3. CLASSIFICATION This is a **NEW DEVICE ID** addition - explicitly listed as an exception that IS appropriate for stable backporting. The driver infrastructure and fixup code already exist; this merely adds an ID to enable the existing fix for new hardware. ### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT - **Lines changed**: 1 line - **Files touched**: 1 file - **Complexity**: Zero - table entry addition only - **Risk**: Extremely low - this cannot affect any other hardware - **No new code paths**: Uses pre-existing `ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2` fixup ### 5. USER IMPACT - **Who is affected**: Owners of ASUS UM3406GA laptops - **Problem without fix**: Audio (specifically the CS35L41 amplifiers) won't function properly - **Severity**: Non-working audio is a significant user-facing issue for laptop users ### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS - Signed-off by Takashi Iwai (ALSA maintainer at SUSE) - Standard quirk addition pattern used extensively throughout this file - Follows exact same format as dozens of other ASUS quirk entries ### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK - The fixup `ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2` has been in the kernel for some time, supporting multiple other ASUS models - No other commits are required for this to work - This should apply cleanly to stable trees that have the CS35L41 support infrastructure ### CONCLUSION This commit is a textbook example of what should be backported to stable trees: 1. **Falls under explicit exception**: Adding device IDs to existing drivers is explicitly allowed 2. **Minimal change**: Single line, single table entry 3. **Zero regression risk**: Cannot affect any hardware except the targeted laptop 4. **Uses existing infrastructure**: The fixup is already well-tested on similar ASUS models 5. **Fixes real user problem**: Enables audio on a production laptop 6. **Obviously correct**: Identical pattern to surrounding entries The risk-benefit analysis strongly favors backporting: virtually zero risk with clear user benefit (working audio on a specific laptop model). **YES** sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc269.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc269.c b/sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc269.c index b45fcc9a3785e..008bf9d5148e1 100644 --- a/sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc269.c +++ b/sound/hda/codecs/realtek/alc269.c @@ -6752,6 +6752,7 @@ static const struct hda_quirk alc269_fixup_tbl[] = { SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1517, "Asus Zenbook UX31A", ALC269VB_FIXUP_ASUS_ZENBOOK_UX31A), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1533, "ASUS GV302XA/XJ/XQ/XU/XV/XI", ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1573, "ASUS GZ301VV/VQ/VU/VJ/VA/VC/VE/VVC/VQC/VUC/VJC/VEC/VCC", ALC285_FIXUP_ASUS_HEADSET_MIC), + SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1584, "ASUS UM3406GA ", ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1652, "ASUS ROG Zephyrus Do 15 SE", ALC289_FIXUP_ASUS_ZEPHYRUS_DUAL_SPK), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1662, "ASUS GV301QH", ALC294_FIXUP_ASUS_DUAL_SPK), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1663, "ASUS GU603ZI/ZJ/ZQ/ZU/ZV", ALC285_FIXUP_ASUS_HEADSET_MIC), -- 2.51.0

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.1] smb/client: fix NT_STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED value

by Sasha Levin

From: ChenXiaoSong <chenxiaosong(a)kylinos.cn> [ Upstream commit a1237c203f1757480dc2f3b930608ee00072d3cc ] This was reported by the KUnit tests in the later patches. See MS-ERREF 2.3.1 STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED. Keep it consistent with the value in the documentation. Signed-off-by: ChenXiaoSong <chenxiaosong(a)kylinos.cn> Acked-by: Paulo Alcantara (Red Hat) <pc(a)manguebit.org> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench(a)microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus: ## Analysis of Commit: smb/client: fix NT_STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED value ### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS - Subject clearly states "fix" indicating a bug fix - References MS-ERREF 2.3.1 (Microsoft's official NTSTATUS documentation) as the authoritative source - Bug was discovered through KUnit tests - Has Acked-by from Paulo Alcantara (Red Hat SMB maintainer) and Signed- off-by from Steve French (primary SMB/CIFS maintainer) ### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS The change is a single-line fix in a header file: ```c -#define NT_STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED 0x8000001c +#define NT_STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED 0x80000022 ``` **Critical bug identified**: The OLD value `0x8000001c` was **duplicated** with another constant defined just a few lines above: ```c #define NT_STATUS_MEDIA_CHANGED 0x8000001c ``` This is clearly a bug - two distinct Windows NT error status codes were sharing the same numeric value. This would cause: - Incorrect error code interpretation when servers return STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED (0x80000022) - Potential confusion between STATUS_MEDIA_CHANGED and STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED The new value `0x80000022` matches the official Microsoft MS-ERREF specification for STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED. ### 3. CLASSIFICATION - **Bug fix**: Yes - corrects a provably incorrect constant value - **Feature addition**: No - **New API**: No - **Specification compliance fix**: Aligns with official Microsoft documentation ### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT - **Size**: 1 line changed - **Files**: 1 header file - **Risk**: Extremely low - simply correcting a wrong numeric constant - **Subsystem**: SMB client (commonly used for network file sharing) This is about as low-risk as a fix can get - it's correcting a single constant value to match official documentation. The previous value was demonstrably wrong (duplicate of another constant). ### 5. USER IMPACT SMB is widely used for file sharing across networks. Having correct error status codes is important for proper error handling. While the practical impact depends on how this constant is used, having correct protocol constants is essential for interoperability. ### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS - Acked by Red Hat's SMB maintainer - Signed off by the primary CIFS/SMB maintainer (Steve French) - KUnit tests caught this issue, indicating testing coverage ### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK - No dependencies on other commits - Standalone fix to a header constant - SMB client code exists in stable trees ### Summary **Meets stable criteria:** - ✅ Obviously correct (matches official MS-ERREF documentation) - ✅ Fixes a real bug (duplicate constant value) - ✅ Extremely small and contained (single line change) - ✅ No new features or APIs - ✅ Low risk (just correcting a constant value) **Risk vs Benefit:** - Risk: Minimal - changing a constant to its documented correct value - Benefit: Correct SMB error handling, protocol compliance This is a textbook example of a safe stable backport candidate: an obviously wrong value is corrected to match official documentation, the change is tiny, and there's no possibility of regression since the old value was demonstrably incorrect (it was a duplicate of NT_STATUS_MEDIA_CHANGED). **YES** fs/smb/client/nterr.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/smb/client/nterr.h b/fs/smb/client/nterr.h index b3516c71cff77..09263c91d07a4 100644 --- a/fs/smb/client/nterr.h +++ b/fs/smb/client/nterr.h @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ extern const struct nt_err_code_struct nt_errs[]; #define NT_STATUS_MEDIA_CHANGED 0x8000001c #define NT_STATUS_END_OF_MEDIA 0x8000001e #define NT_STATUS_MEDIA_CHECK 0x80000020 -#define NT_STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED 0x8000001c +#define NT_STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED 0x80000022 #define NT_STATUS_STOPPED_ON_SYMLINK 0x8000002d #define NT_STATUS_DEVICE_REQUIRES_CLEANING 0x80000288 #define NT_STATUS_DEVICE_DOOR_OPEN 0x80000289 -- 2.51.0

PROBLEM: hwclock busted w/ M48T59 RTC (regression)

Hi, After a stable kernel update, the hwclock command seems no longer functional on my SPARC system with an ST M48T59Y-70PC1 RTC: # hwclock [...long delay...] hwclock: select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out On prior kernels, there is no problem: # hwclock 2025-10-22 22:21:04.806992-04:00 I reproduced the same failure on 6.18-rc2 and bisected to this commit: commit 795cda8338eab036013314dbc0b04aae728880ab Author: Esben Haabendal <esben(a)geanix.com> Date: Fri May 16 09:23:35 2025 +0200 rtc: interface: Fix long-standing race when setting alarm This commit was backported to all current 6.x stable branches, as well as 5.15.x, so they all have the same regression. Reverting this commit on top of 6.18-rc2 corrects the problem. Let me know if you need any more info! Thanks, Nick

[PATCH] Revert "clk: qcom: cpu-8996: simplify the cpu_clk_notifier_cb"

by Christopher Obbard

This reverts commit b3b274bc9d3d7307308aeaf75f70731765ac999a. On the DragonBoard 820c (which uses APQ8096/MSM8996) this change causes the CPUs to downclock to roughly half speed under sustained load. The regression is visible both during boot and when running CPU stress workloads such as stress-ng: the CPUs initially ramp up to the expected frequency, then drop to a lower OPP even though the system is clearly CPU-bound. Bisecting points to this commit and reverting it restores the expected behaviour on the DragonBoard 820c - the CPUs track the cpufreq policy and run at full performance under load. The exact interaction with the ACD is not yet fully understood and we would like to keep ACD in use to avoid possible SoC reliability issues. Until we have a better fix that preserves ACD while avoiding this performance regression, revert the bisected patch to restore the previous behaviour. Fixes: b3b274bc9d3d ("clk: qcom: cpu-8996: simplify the cpu_clk_notifier_cb") Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org # v6.3+ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20230113120544.59320-8-dmitry.baryshk… Cc: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov(a)oss.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Christopher Obbard <christopher.obbard(a)linaro.org> --- Hi all, This series contains a single revert for a regression affecting the APQ8096/MSM8996 (DragonBoard 820c). The commit being reverted, b3b274bc9d3d ("clk: qcom: cpu-8996: simplify the cpu_clk_notifier_cb"), introduces a significant performance issue where the CPUs downclock to ~50% of their expected frequency under sustained load. The problem is reproducible both at boot and when running CPU-bound workloads such as stress-ng. Bisecting the issue pointed directly to this commit and reverting it restores correct cpufreq behaviour. The root cause appears to be related to the interaction between the simplified notifier callback and ACD (Adaptive Clock Distribution). Since we would prefer to keep ACD enabled for SoC reliability reasons, a revert is the safest option until a proper fix is identified. Full details are included in the commit message. Feedback & suggestions welcome. Cheers!

[PATCH v2] net: dsa: Fix error handling in dsa_port_parse_of

by Ma Ke

When of_find_net_device_by_node() successfully acquires a reference to a network device but the subsequent call to dsa_port_parse_cpu() fails, dsa_port_parse_of() returns without releasing the reference count on the network device. of_find_net_device_by_node() increments the reference count of the returned structure, which should be balanced with a corresponding put_device() when the reference is no longer needed. Found by code review.

[PATCH v2] ocfs2: fix kernel BUG in ocfs2_write_block

by Prithvi Tambewagh

When the filesystem is being mounted, the kernel panics while the data regarding slot map allocation to the local node, is being written to the disk. This occurs because the value of slot map buffer head block number, which should have been greater than or equal to `OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO` (evaluating to 2) is less than it, indicative of disk metadata corruption. This triggers BUG_ON(bh->b_blocknr < OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO) in ocfs2_write_block(), causing the kernel to panic. This is fixed by introducing an if condition block in ocfs2_update_disk_slot(), right before calling ocfs2_write_block(), which checks if `bh->b_blocknr` is lesser than `OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO`; if yes, then ocfs2_error is called, which prints the error log, for debugging purposes, and the return value of ocfs2_error() is returned back to caller of ocfs2_update_disk_slot() i.e. ocfs2_find_slot(). If the return value is zero. then error code EIO is returned.
