LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:
1. **Bug Fix for Hardware Functionality**: The commit fixes a non- functional internal microphone on the HP Laptop 17 cp-2033dx. This is a hardware enablement bug fix that prevents users from using a core functionality of their laptop.
2. **Minimal and Contained Change**: The change is extremely minimal - it only adds 7 lines to the DMI quirk table: ```c + { + .driver_data = &acp6x_card, + .matches = { + DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "HP"), + DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "8A81"), + } + }, ``` This is a simple DMI match addition with no algorithmic changes or side effects.
3. **Low Risk of Regression**: DMI quirk additions are inherently safe as they only affect the specific hardware model being added. The change cannot impact any other system that doesn't match the exact DMI strings.
4. **Follows Established Pattern**: All five similar commits provided as reference (for HP models with board names 8BD6, 8A3E, 8A22, 8A27, and other manufacturers) were marked as "Backport Status: YES". This type of commit has a well-established history of being backported.
5. **User-Impacting Issue**: Without this quirk, users of the HP Laptop 17 cp-2033dx cannot use their internal microphone, which is essential functionality for video calls, recording, and voice commands. This significantly degrades the user experience.
6. **Consistent with Stable Tree Rules**: The commit meets the stable kernel criteria: - It fixes a real bug that bothers users (non-functional microphone) - It's obviously correct and tested (standard DMI quirk pattern) - It's small (7 lines) - It doesn't add new features, only fixes existing functionality
The AMD Yellow Carp (YC) audio driver uses DMI quirks to enable the internal microphone on specific laptop models. Without these quirks, the DMIC (Digital Microphone) won't be properly initialized on affected systems. This is a common pattern in the Linux kernel for handling hardware-specific configurations.

With large values of CONFIG_NR_CPUS, three Intel ethernet drivers fail to compile like:
In function ‘i40e_free_q_vector’, inlined from ‘i40e_vsi_alloc_q_vectors’ at drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c:12112:3: 571 | _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__) include/linux/rcupdate.h:1084:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘BUILD_BUG_ON’ 1084 | BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(typeof(*(ptr)), rhf) >= 4096); \ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c:5113:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘kfree_rcu’ 5113 | kfree_rcu(q_vector, rcu); | ^~~~~~~~~
The problem is that the 'rcu' member in 'q_vector' is too far from the start of the structure. Move this member before the CPU mask instead, in all three drivers.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:
1. **Compilation Failure Fix**: This fixes a build-time compilation failure that occurs with large values of CONFIG_NR_CPUS. The error prevents the kernel from building successfully, which is a significant issue for systems configured with high CPU counts.
2. **Root Cause**: The issue stems from the `kfree_rcu()` macro in `include/linux/rcupdate.h:1084` which includes a `BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(typeof(*(ptr)), rhf) >= 4096)` check. This compile-time assertion ensures that the RCU head field is within the first 4096 bytes of the structure.
3. **Simple and Safe Fix**: The fix is straightforward - it moves the `struct rcu_head rcu` member earlier in the structure, placing it before the `cpumask_t affinity_mask` member. This is a safe change because: - It only reorders structure members - The RCU head doesn't need to be at any specific location functionally - Moving it earlier reduces the offset from the structure start - No functional code changes are required
4. **Affects Multiple Drivers**: The issue affects three Intel ethernet drivers (i40e, ixgbe, fm10k), all of which are fixed identically by moving the rcu member earlier in their respective q_vector structures.
5. **Configuration-Dependent Bug**: This bug only manifests with large CONFIG_NR_CPUS values (likely >= 512 or higher), where the `cpumask_t` type becomes large enough to push the rcu member beyond the 4096-byte offset limit. Systems with high core counts are becoming more common in production environments.
6. **No Risk of Regression**: The change is minimal and doesn't alter any functionality. It's purely a structural reordering that maintains all existing behavior while fixing the compilation issue.
7. **Meets Stable Criteria**: This fix clearly meets the stable kernel criteria as it: - Fixes a real bug (compilation failure) - Is minimal and contained - Has no risk of introducing new issues - Affects users with legitimate configurations
The commit is an excellent candidate for stable backporting as it fixes a real compilation issue that prevents kernel builds on systems with large CPU counts, and the fix is trivial with no risk of regression.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:
## Nature of the Change
This commit adds a simple DMI (Desktop Management Interface) quirk entry for the HP Victus Gaming Laptop 15-fb1xxx model to enable internal microphone support. The change is: - Adding a new entry to the `yc_acp_quirk_table[]` array - The entry matches DMI_BOARD_VENDOR "HP" and DMI_PRODUCT_NAME "Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fb1xxx" - Associates the match with `&acp6x_card` driver data
## Comparison with Similar Commits
All 5 similar commits with "Backport Status: YES" follow the exact same pattern: 1. They add DMI entries for HP laptops (HP OMEN, HP Victus) or other brands 2. They enable internal microphone functionality for specific hardware models 3. They are minimal, self-contained changes adding only DMI match entries 4. They fix hardware enablement issues that affect users
## Backport Suitability Analysis
**Reasons this qualifies for stable backporting:**
1. **Bug Fix**: This fixes a hardware functionality issue where the internal microphone doesn't work on HP Victus 15-fb1xxx laptops without this quirk
2. **User Impact**: Without this patch, users of this specific laptop model cannot use their internal microphone, which is a significant functionality regression
3. **Minimal Risk**: The change is: - Extremely localized (only adds one DMI entry) - Cannot affect other hardware (DMI matching is specific to this model) - Uses the same pattern as dozens of other entries in the same table - No algorithmic changes or new features
4. **Self-Contained**: The patch is completely self-contained with no dependencies on other changes
5. **Hardware Enablement**: This falls under the stable tree criteria for "hardware that is broken by design and needs a quirk"
6. **Precedent**: The git history shows numerous similar DMI quirk additions for this driver have been backported to stable
## Code Safety Analysis
The code change is safe because: - It only adds a static data structure entry - The DMI matching system is well-established and reliable - The `acp6x_card` driver data is already used by many other entries - No memory allocations, no new logic paths, no behavioral changes for existing hardware
This is a textbook example of a stable-appropriate patch: it fixes a real user-facing bug with minimal risk and follows established patterns.

[ Upstream commit e837b59f8b411b5baf5e3de7a5aea10b1c545a63 ]
It is currently possible to configure a kernel with all Intel SoC configs as loadable modules, but the board config as built-in. This causes a link failure in the reference to the snd_soc_sof.ko module:
x86_64-linux-ld: sound/soc/intel/boards/sof_rt5682.o: in function `sof_rt5682_hw_params': sof_rt5682.c:(.text+0x1f9): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_mclk' x86_64-linux-ld: sof_rt5682.c:(.text+0x234): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_bclk' x86_64-linux-ld: sound/soc/intel/boards/sof_rt5682.o: in function `sof_rt5682_codec_init': sof_rt5682.c:(.text+0x3e0): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_mclk' x86_64-linux-ld: sound/soc/intel/boards/sof_cs42l42.o: in function `sof_cs42l42_hw_params': sof_cs42l42.c:(.text+0x2a): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_bclk' x86_64-linux-ld: sound/soc/intel/boards/sof_nau8825.o: in function `sof_nau8825_hw_params': sof_nau8825.c:(.text+0x7f): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_bclk' x86_64-linux-ld: sound/soc/intel/boards/sof_da7219.o: in function `da7219_codec_init': sof_da7219.c:(.text+0xbf): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_mclk' x86_64-linux-ld: sound/soc/intel/boards/sof_maxim_common.o: in function `max_98373_hw_params': sof_maxim_common.c:(.text+0x6f9): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_tdm_slots' x86_64-linux-ld: sound/soc/intel/boards/sof_realtek_common.o: in function `rt1015_hw_params': sof_realtek_common.c:(.text+0x54c): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_bclk' x86_64-linux-ld: sound/soc/intel/boards/sof_realtek_common.o: in function `rt1308_hw_params': sof_realtek_common.c:(.text+0x702): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_mclk' x86_64-linux-ld: sound/soc/intel/boards/sof_cirrus_common.o: in function `cs35l41_hw_params': sof_cirrus_common.c:(.text+0x2f): undefined reference to `sof_dai_get_bclk'
Add an optional dependency on SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_COMMON, to ensure that whenever the SOF support is in a loadable module, none of the board code can be built-in.
This may be be a little heavy-handed, but I also don't see a reason why one would want the boards to be built-in but not the SoC, so it shouldn't actually cause any usability problems.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Based on my analysis of the commit and its context, here is my assessment:
**YES** - This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.
## Extensive Explanation:
### 1. **The commit fixes a critical build failure** The commit addresses link errors that occur when Intel ASoC board drivers are built-in (=y) while the SOF core module is built as a loadable module (=m). The error messages show undefined references to SOF DAI functions: - `sof_dai_get_mclk` - `sof_dai_get_bclk` - `sof_dai_get_tdm_slots`
These functions are exported from the `snd-sof` module (defined in `sound/soc/sof/sof-audio.c`), but when board drivers are built-in, they cannot reference symbols from loadable modules.
### 2. **The fix is minimal and contained** The change is a single-line modification to the Kconfig dependency: ```diff -if SND_SOC_INTEL_MACH +if SND_SOC_INTEL_MACH && (SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_COMMON || !SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_COMMON) ```
This clever dependency ensures that when `SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_COMMON` is built as a module (=m), the Intel machine drivers cannot be built-in (=y). The `|| !SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_COMMON` part allows the machine drivers to be enabled when SOF support is completely disabled.
### 3. **Similar to previous backported fixes** Looking at the historical commits: - Commit `8d0872f6239f` (Similar Commit #1) fixed a similar link failure for `sof-nau8825` and was backported (YES) - Commit `f4df4e4042b0` (Similar Commit #4) fixed a similar dependency issue with SOF IMX and was backported (YES)
Both of these commits addressed build/link failures caused by incorrect Kconfig dependencies, just like this commit.
### 4. **No risk of regression** The change only affects build configuration and doesn't modify any runtime code. It prevents invalid configurations that would fail to build anyway. As the commit message states: "it shouldn't actually cause any usability problems" because there's no practical reason to have board drivers built-in while the SOF core is a module.
### 5. **Meets stable tree criteria** - Fixes a real bug (build failure) - Small and contained change - No new features or architectural changes - Similar fixes have been backported before - Low risk of introducing new issues
The commit follows the pattern of other Kconfig dependency fixes in the Intel ASoC subsystem that have been successfully backported to stable trees.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:
## Analysis of the Commit
### 1. **Nature of the Change** The commit adds a DMI (Desktop Management Interface) quirk entry for the ASUS Vivobook PRO 15X (M6501RM) laptop to enable its internal microphone functionality. The change is minimal - it simply adds 7 lines to the `yc_acp_quirk_table[]` array in `sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c`:
```c + { + .driver_data = &acp6x_card, + .matches = { + DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC."), + DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "M6501RM"), + } + }, ```
### 2. **Impact and Bug Fix Nature** This is a classic hardware enablement fix that: - **Fixes a real user-facing bug**: The internal microphone on this specific laptop model doesn't work without this quirk - **Has zero functional impact on other systems**: DMI quirks only activate when the exact hardware match is found - **Follows an established pattern**: The file contains dozens of similar DMI quirks for various laptop models
### 3. **Code Context Analysis** From examining the kernel repository: - The `yc_acp_quirk_table[]` is used in the `acp6x_probe()` function to enable DMIC (Digital Microphone) support for AMD Yellow Carp platform - The driver first tries ACPI methods to detect DMIC capability, but falls back to DMI quirks for systems that don't properly advertise this capability - Without this quirk, the microphone simply won't be detected or function on the affected laptop model
### 4. **Comparison with Similar Commits** Looking at the historical patterns: - **3 out of 5 similar DMI quirk additions were marked for stable** (commits with "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org") - All commits marked "YES" for backporting share these characteristics: - Fix microphone functionality issues - Add simple DMI entries - Have bug reports or user confirmations - Minimal risk of regression
### 5. **Stable Tree Criteria Evaluation** This commit meets all the key stable tree criteria: - ✅ **Fixes a real bug**: Broken microphone functionality - ✅ **Small and contained**: Only 7 lines added - ✅ **No side effects**: Only affects the specific laptop model - ✅ **No architectural changes**: Simple table entry addition - ✅ **Minimal regression risk**: Cannot affect other hardware - ✅ **User-reported issue**: Commit message indicates user need
### 6. **Risk Assessment** The risk is essentially zero because: - DMI matching is exact - it requires both vendor and product name to match - The quirk only enables existing functionality, doesn't modify behavior - Similar quirks have been added hundreds of times without issues - The pattern is well-established in this subsystem
### 7. **Additional Considerations** While this commit doesn't have an explicit "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag, this is not unusual for AMD audio quirks. The maintainers often rely on stable maintainers to pick up these obvious hardware enablement fixes based on their merit.
This type of hardware enablement fix is exactly what stable kernels should include - it makes Linux work properly on real hardware that users have purchased, without any risk to existing functionality.
