The patch below does not apply to the 5.14-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
Hello that patch depends on commit which fixes name of rootcap member: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
Thanks, that worked for 5.10 and 5.14, but not for 5.4.y. If this needs to go there too, can you send a working set of backported patches?
Hello Greg!
Applying patches in this order passes:
git cherry-pick e0d9d30b73548fbfe5c024ed630169bdc9a08aee git cherry-pick b1bd5714472cc72e14409f5659b154c765a76c65 git cherry-pick e902bb7c24a7099d0eb0eb4cba06f2d91e9299f3 git cherry-pick 43f5c77bcbd27cce70bf33c2b86d6726ce95dd66
First patch fixes big endian support in driver code and second patch fixes filling return value of function call on error (return value is passed via pointer argument). I do not know why they do not have appropriate Fixes tag, but for me it looks like that both patches are suitable for stable backporting.
What do you think, are first two patches suitable for backport? Or do you need some other solution?
thanks,
