**YES**, this commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.
## Extensive Explanation:
### 1. **Critical Userspace Regression Fix** This revert fixes a critical regression that breaks userspace applications. The commit message explicitly states that the original change "breaks not one but several userspace implementations of battery monitoring: Steam and MangoHud." This is a clear violation of the kernel's "no userspace regressions" rule, which is one of the most fundamental principles in kernel development.
### 2. **Code Analysis Shows ABI Change** Looking at the code changes: ```c // The problematic code that was added (and is now being removed): if (psp == POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CURRENT_NOW && (battery->state & ACPI_BATTERY_STATE_DISCHARGING) && acpi_battery_handle_discharging(battery) == POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_DISCHARGING) val->intval = -val->intval; ```
This code was changing the sign of the current value when discharging, which altered the userspace-visible ABI. Even if the original behavior didn't match documentation, changing it broke existing applications that depended on the long-standing behavior.
### 3. **Simple and Safe Revert** The commit is a clean revert that: - Removes the problematic sign negation logic - Restores the original behavior that userspace applications expect - Is self-contained to the `acpi_battery_get_property()` function - Has minimal risk of introducing new issues
### 4. **Meets Stable Kernel Criteria** According to stable kernel rules, this commit qualifies because it: - **Fixes a real bug** that users are hitting (broken battery monitoring in Steam and MangoHud) - **Is obviously correct** (it's a revert of a change that broke userspace) - **Is small and contained** (only affects the ACPI battery property reporting) - **Has been tested** (the reporter confirmed the issue) - **Fixes a regression** (restores previous working behavior)
### 5. **Comparison to Similar Commits** Looking at the historical commits marked with "Backport Status: YES", they share similar characteristics: - Fix actual problems affecting users - Are relatively small and contained changes - Don't introduce new features or architectural changes - Focus on fixing specific issues
This revert fits perfectly into this pattern as it's fixing a specific userspace compatibility issue without introducing any new functionality.
### 6. **Timing Considerations** The original problematic commit (234f71555019) was from May 8, 2025, and this revert is from July 3, 2025. If the original commit made it into any stable releases, those stable trees would need this revert to prevent userspace breakage.
### Conclusion: This is a textbook example of a commit that should be backported to stable kernels. It fixes a userspace regression, is minimal in scope, carries very low risk, and restores previously working behavior that applications depend on. The fact that it's a revert of a problematic change makes it even more suitable for stable backporting.

[ Upstream commit 24b2f5df86aaebbe7bac40304eaf5a146c02367c ]
The `tx_may_stop()` logic stops TX queues if free descriptors (`sq->vq->num_free`) fall below the threshold of (`MAX_SKB_FRAGS` + 2). If the total ring size (`ring_num`) is not strictly greater than this value, queues can become persistently stopped or stop after minimal use, severely degrading performance.
A single sk_buff transmission typically requires descriptors for: - The virtio_net_hdr (1 descriptor) - The sk_buff's linear data (head) (1 descriptor) - Paged fragments (up to MAX_SKB_FRAGS descriptors)
This patch enforces that the TX ring size ('ring_num') must be strictly greater than (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2). This ensures that the ring is always large enough to hold at least one maximally-fragmented packet plus at least one additional slot.

**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:
## 1. **Critical Bug Fix** The commit fixes a severe bug where TX queues can become permanently stopped, causing complete network transmission failure. Looking at the code change, it adds a crucial validation in `virtnet_tx_resize()`:
```c if (ring_num <= MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2) { netdev_err(vi->dev, "tx size (%d) cannot be smaller than %d\n", ring_num, MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2); return -EINVAL; } ```
This prevents a configuration that would make the network interface essentially unusable.
## 2. **Root Cause Analysis** The bug occurs because the `tx_may_stop()` logic (used throughout virtio_net for flow control) stops the TX queue when free descriptors fall below `MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2`. If the total ring size is not strictly greater than this threshold, the queue can: - Stop after transmitting just one packet - Never have enough free slots to wake up again - Result in a permanently stalled TX queue
## 3. **User Impact** This affects real users who: - Use virtio_net in virtualized environments (very common in cloud/VM deployments) - Configure TX ring sizes via ethtool or other management tools - May unknowingly set ring sizes that trigger this bug
The commit message explicitly mentions a report from Lei Yang at Red Hat, indicating this was discovered through real-world usage.
## 4. **Minimal and Safe Fix** The fix is: - **Small**: Only 6 lines of code added - **Contained**: Only affects ring resize operations - **Safe**: Adds validation without changing existing behavior for valid configurations - **Clear**: Returns -EINVAL with a descriptive error message
## 5. **Meets Stable Criteria** According to stable kernel rules, this commit qualifies because it: - Fixes a bug that affects users (network stalls) - Is relatively small and contained - Has no major side effects - Doesn't introduce new features - Has been tested (by Lei Yang) and reviewed by maintainers (Jason Wang, Michael S. Tsirkin)
## 6. **Comparison with Similar Commits** Looking at the historical commits: - Similar commit #3 (virtio_net: ensure netdev_tx_reset_queue) was backported because it fixed TX queue handling issues - This commit is even more critical as it prevents complete TX failure - The fix is simpler than commit #3 (just validation vs. callback handling)
## 7. **No Architectural Changes** Unlike commits #1 and #2 which made architectural changes to ring sizing, this commit: - Only adds input validation - Doesn't change data structures - Doesn't modify existing workflows - Simply prevents an invalid configuration
The fact that experienced maintainers like Jason Wang and Michael S. Tsirkin acked this change further supports its importance for stable backporting. This is a textbook example of a fix that should go to stable: it addresses a real bug with minimal risk.

[ Upstream commit 45ebc7e6c125ce93d2ddf82cd5bea20121bb0258 ]
The virtqueue_resize() function was not correctly propagating error codes from its internal resize helper functions, specifically virtqueue_resize_packet() and virtqueue_resize_split(). If these helpers returned an error, but the subsequent call to virtqueue_enable_after_reset() succeeded, the original error from the resize operation would be masked. Consequently, virtqueue_resize() could incorrectly report success to its caller despite an underlying resize failure.
This change restores the original code behavior:
if (vdev->config->enable_vq_after_reset(_vq)) return -EBUSY;
return err;

## Analysis Summary
**YES**, this commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.
Here's my extensive analysis:
### 1. **This is a clear bug fix for incorrect error reporting**
The commit fixes a critical error handling bug in `virtqueue_resize()` where error codes from the resize operation (`virtqueue_resize_packed()` or `virtqueue_resize_split()`) were being masked if `virtqueue_enable_after_reset()` succeeded.
The specific bug pattern: ```c // Before fix (buggy code): err = virtqueue_resize_packed/_split(_vq, num); // May return error return virtqueue_enable_after_reset(_vq); // Returns 0 on success, masking 'err'
// After fix (correct code): err = virtqueue_resize_packed/_split(_vq, num); err_reset = virtqueue_enable_after_reset(_vq); if (err_reset) return err_reset; return err; // Correctly returns the resize error ```
### 2. **The bug affects users and can cause silent failures**
According to the function documentation at lines 2787-2788, when `-ENOMEM` is returned from resize, "vq can still work normally" with the original ring size. However, with the bug, the caller would receive success (0) instead of `-ENOMEM`, leading them to incorrectly believe the resize succeeded when it actually failed. This could cause: - Incorrect assumptions about queue capacity - Performance issues if the application expected a different queue size - Potential resource allocation mismatches
### 3. **The fix is small, contained, and low-risk**
The change is minimal - only 6 lines of code: - Introduces a new local variable `err_reset` - Properly preserves and returns the original error code - No architectural changes or new features - Only affects error propagation logic
### 4. **The bug exists in stable kernels**
- Bug introduced in v6.6-rc1 (commit ad48d53b5b3f) - The feature (virtqueue_resize) exists since v6.0-rc1 - Therefore, stable kernels 6.6.x and later contain this bug
### 5. **Clear regression from refactoring**
The commit message explicitly states this "restores the original code behavior" and includes a "Fix:" tag pointing to the commit that introduced the regression. The original correct pattern was: ```c if (vdev->config->enable_vq_after_reset(_vq)) return -EBUSY; return err; ```
### 6. **Meets stable kernel criteria**
Per stable kernel rules, this fix: - Fixes a real bug that affects users (incorrect error reporting) - Is already in Linus' tree (merged by Paolo Abeni) - Is small and easily reviewable - Has been tested (Tested-by: Lei Yang) - Has multiple maintainer acks (Jason Wang, Michael S. Tsirkin) - Does not add new features or make risky changes
### 7. **Similar commits context**
While the similar commits shown are feature additions (introducing virtqueue_resize functionality), this commit is fundamentally different - it's a bug fix for error handling, not a feature addition.
The fix ensures that callers of `virtqueue_resize()` receive accurate error information, which is critical for proper error handling and recovery in virtio drivers that use queue resizing functionality.

[ Upstream commit ca46946a482238b0cdea459fb82fc837fb36260e ]
Failing to reset coupling_desc.n_coupled after freeing coupled_rdevs can lead to NULL pointer dereference when regulators are accessed post-unbind.
This can happen during runtime PM or other regulator operations that rely on coupling metadata.
For example, on ridesx4, unbinding the 'reg-dummy' platform device triggers a panic in regulator_lock_recursive() due to stale coupling state.
Ensure n_coupled is set to 0 to prevent access to invalid pointers.

Now I understand the bug. After unbind, the regulator_dev structure may still exist and be accessed (e.g., during runtime PM operations). If n_coupled is not reset to 0, code like regulator_lock_recursive() will try to iterate through n_coupled entries in the coupled_rdevs array, but that array has been freed and set to NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons:
1. **It fixes a real NULL pointer dereference bug**: The commit addresses a crash that occurs when regulators are accessed after unbind. The issue is in `regulator_lock_recursive()` at line 326-327 where it iterates through `n_coupled` entries in the `coupled_rdevs` array: ```c for (i = 0; i < rdev->coupling_desc.n_coupled; i++) { c_rdev = rdev->coupling_desc.coupled_rdevs[i]; ``` If `n_coupled > 0` but `coupled_rdevs` has been freed (set to NULL), this causes a NULL pointer dereference.
2. **The fix is minimal and safe**: The patch adds just one line: ```c rdev->coupling_desc.n_coupled = 0; ``` This ensures that after freeing the coupling data, the count is also reset, preventing any code from trying to access the freed array.
3. **It affects a critical subsystem**: The regulator framework is essential for power management, and crashes in this subsystem can cause system instability or complete failure.
4. **The bug can be triggered during normal operations**: The commit message mentions this happens during runtime PM or other regulator operations, which are common scenarios, not edge cases.
5. **Similar to other backported fixes**: Looking at the historical commits, we see that similar coupling-related fixes have been backported: - "regulator: core: Release coupled_rdevs on regulator_init_coupling() error" (backported) - "regulator: da9063: fix null pointer deref with partial DT config" (backported) These precedents show that NULL pointer fixes in the regulator subsystem are considered important for stable trees.
6. **Clear reproducer**: The commit mentions a specific platform (ridesx4) where unbinding the 'reg-dummy' platform device triggers the panic, indicating this is a reproducible issue.
The fix follows the stable kernel rules: it's a small, contained fix for an important bug with minimal risk of regression.

**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's the extensive explanation:
## Analysis of the Code Changes
The commit adds a simple DMI quirk entry for the ASUS Zenbook Duo UX8406CA:
```c + { + .callback = dmi_matched, + .ident = "ASUS Zenbook Duo UX8406CA", + .matches = { + DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC."), + DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "UX8406CA"), + }, + .driver_data = &quirk_asus_zenbook_duo_kbd, + }, ```
This applies the existing `quirk_asus_zenbook_duo_kbd` to the UX8406CA model.
## Why This Is a Bug Fix, Not Just Hardware Enablement
Based on my analysis of the kernel repository, the `quirk_asus_zenbook_duo_kbd` was introduced to fix a specific hardware issue where:
1. **The keyboard emits spurious wireless disable keypresses** when placed on the laptop's secondary display 2. **This causes unexpected WiFi disconnections** via the rfkill system 3. **The keyboard doesn't actually have wireless toggle functionality**, so these events are always spurious
## Evidence Supporting Backporting
1. **Fixes User-Impacting Bug**: Without this quirk, users experience unexpected WiFi disconnections when using their keyboard normally, which significantly impacts usability.
2. **Follows Established Pattern**: The commit follows the exact pattern of the previous UX8406MA support (commit 9286dfd5735b), which addressed the same issue for a similar model.
3. **Minimal Risk**: The change is: - Only 9 lines of code - Isolated to specific hardware (only affects UX8406CA) - Uses existing, tested infrastructure - Cannot affect other systems due to DMI matching
4. **Similar to Other Backported Commits**: Looking at the reference commits: - Commit 2b1cb70 (adding support for ALS on UX430UQ) was backported - Commit ac16dfa (reverting GA401/GA502 quirks) was backported - Commit 82a7228 (adding tablet mode quirk for ROG Flow X13) was backported
5. **Clear Bug Fix Nature**: Unlike commit 79493de (making use of dmi->ident) which was NOT backported because it was just a code improvement, this commit actually fixes broken functionality.
## Comparison with Reference Commits
This commit is most similar to: - **Commit 2b1cb70** (YES): Added device-specific quirk to fix functionality - **Commit 82a7228** (YES): Added quirk to fix hardware-specific issue - **Commit 25390f8** (YES): Added device support to fix existing hardware
And dissimilar to: - **Commit 79493de** (NO): Code refactoring without functional impact
## Conclusion
This commit meets all criteria for stable backporting: - Fixes a real bug affecting users - Small, contained change - Low risk of regression - Follows established patterns - Only affects specific hardware
The commit should be backported to stable kernels that contain the `quirk_asus_zenbook_duo_kbd` infrastructure (6.11+).

The GID cache warning messages can flood the kernel log when there are multiple failed attempts to add GIDs. This can happen when creating many virtual interfaces without having enough space for their GIDs in the GID table.
Change pr_warn to pr_warn_ratelimited to prevent log flooding while still maintaining visibility of the issue.

**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:
## Key Reasons for Backporting:
### 1. **Fixes a Real-World Bug** The commit addresses a concrete problem where warning messages can flood the kernel log. This is not a theoretical issue - it occurs when users create many virtual interfaces without sufficient GID table space. This is a common scenario in production environments with RDMA/InfiniBand deployments.
### 2. **Small and Contained Change** The change is minimal - only replacing `pr_warn()` with `pr_warn_ratelimited()` on lines 585-586. This is exactly 2 lines of functional change with no architectural modifications or new features added.
### 3. **Low Risk of Regression** - The change only affects logging behavior, not functional behavior - `pr_warn_ratelimited()` is a well-established kernel API that behaves identically to `pr_warn()` except for rate limiting - No data structures are modified - No locking changes - No protocol or API changes
### 4. **Follows Stable Kernel Rules** According to stable kernel rules, this fix qualifies because: - It fixes a bug that bothers people (kernel log flooding) - It's a trivial change (2 lines) - It has been tested in mainline - It doesn't add new features
### 5. **Similar to Historical Backports** Looking at the similar commits provided: - Similar Commit #1 (backported): Fixed a hardware limitation issue with clear bounds - Similar Commit #2 (NOT backported): Added rate limiting to ipoib_warn but was more invasive with macro changes - This commit is more like #1 - a targeted fix for a specific issue
### 6. **Production Impact** Log flooding can have serious production impacts: - Fills up `/var/log` partitions - Makes it difficult to find other important kernel messages - Can impact system performance due to excessive logging - Can trigger log rotation issues
### 7. **Context-Specific Analysis** The error path where this warning occurs (line 571: `ret = -ENOSPC`) specifically handles the case when the GID table is full. In environments with many virtual interfaces, this condition can be hit repeatedly in quick succession, causing the flood described in the commit message.
The commit message clearly states this is fixing an observed problem: "This can happen when creating many virtual interfaces without having enough space for their GIDs in the GID table."
This is a perfect example of a stable-appropriate fix: minimal change, fixes a real bug, no risk of functional regression, and improves system stability in production environments.
