There is one prerequisite patch for this patch. I can backport both to all relevant stable branches, but I would like to know how you would like to receive backport patches. Several git bundles to stable@? Several two-patch series to stable@? I can also give you several tags / branches to pull from if you like.
If they cherry-pick cleanly, just the git ids are all we need.
For 5.14, they do -- I tried doing that on linux-5.14.y.
Please cherry-pick these two patches in the order listed for 5.14:
7ad9bb9d0f35 asm-generic/hyperv: provide cpumask_to_vpset_noself dfb5c1e12c28 x86/hyperv: remove on-stack cpumask from hv_send_ipi_mask_allbutself
Otherwise a patch series is great, git bundles are only a last-resort.
I will post some patch series for older stable trees.
Thanks, Wei.
thanks,
