This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
platform/x86: xiaomi-wmi: Fix race condition when reporting key events
to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: platform-x86-xiaomi-wmi-fix-race-condition-when-repo.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
Hi,
the underlying race condition can only be triggered since commit e2ffcda16290 ("ACPI: OSL: Allow Notify () handlers to run on all CPUs"), which afaik was introduced with kernel 6.8.
Because of this, i do not think that we have to backport this commit to kernels before 6.8.
Thanks for looking into this and letting us know!
