My IRC history doesn't go back far enough, but if I recall correctly Miquel is on vacation, he would have picked up this patch for linux-next otherwise.
Exactly.
Indeed, I was off for an extended period of time, I'm (very) slowly catching up now.
Ok, let me do a round of stable releases so that people don't get hit by this now...
Thanks a lot for doing so.
Hopefully this gets fixed up by 5.19-final.
Sure, I'll pickup this patch.
Thanks Greg & Richard for the handling of this issue.
Cheers, Miquèl
Hello All,
As Tomasz stated previously 06781a5026350 was merged in v5.19-rc4 and then was picked up by several stable kernels. While this made it into the 5.15 and 5.18 stable branches it did not make it into the following which are thus the are currently broken: 5.10.y 5.17.y
How do we get this patch applied to those stable branches as well to resolve this?
It is likely that the original patch (targeting a mainline kernel) did not apply to those branches. In this case you can adapt the fix to the concerned kernels and send it to stable@ (following the Documentation guidelines for backports).
Thanks, Miquèl
Miquèl,
Thanks for the pointer. You are correct that this patch which resolves the regression does not apply directly to 5.4/5.10/5.17 stable trees. I'm looking over https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/stable-kernel-rules.html and I'm not clear what I need to put in the commit to make it clear that it only applies to those specific trees. Do I simply adjust the 'Fixes' tag to address the commit from that specific stable branch and send one for each stable branch (thus each would have a different sha in the Fixes tag) while also adding the 'commit <sha> upstream' to the top?
Best Regards.
Tim
