Hello stable-list,

I think this subjected patch [1] missed the below fixes tag. I guess the subjected patch is only picked for 5.7. And AFAIU, this patch will be needed for 5.6 as well.

Could you please do the needful.

Fixes: 244adf6426ee31a (ext4: make dioread_nolock the default)

This patch does not apply to the 5.6 kernel tree at all. Please provide a working backport if you wish to see it present there.

thanks,
