Hi,
our machinery (git-fixes) says, this is needed as a fix: commit f6564fce256a3944aa1bc76cb3c40e792d97c1eb Author: Marco Elver elver@google.com Date: Thu Jan 18 11:59:14 2024 +0100
mm, kmsan: fix infinite recursion due to RCU critical section
Leaving up to the recipients to decide, as I have no idea…
Let's Cc the people involved in f6564fce256a394
That commit just got merged into Linus's tree, AND it is not marked for stable, which is worrying as I have to get the developers's approval to add any non-cc-stable mm patch to the tree because they said they would always mark them properly :)
So I can't take it just yet...
So 5ec8e8ea8b7783fab150cf86404fc38cb4db8800 is being backported to stable, which means that the issue that f6564fce256a394 fixed will be present in stable. I didn't mark f6564fce256a394 as stable as the problem doesn't exist in stable (yet), but if the problem-introducing commit is being backported, then yes, please also backport f6564fce256a394 to stable.
Thanks, now queued up.
