v6.5 backport request: 6d2779ecaeb56f92 ("locking/atomic: scripts: fix fallback ifdeffery")
Hi,
Could we please backport commit:
6d2779ecaeb56f92d7105c56772346c71c88c278 ("locking/atomic: scripts: fix fallback ifdeffery")
... to the 6.5.y stable tree?
I forgot to Cc stable when I submitted the original patch, and had (mistakenly) assumed that the Fixes tag was sufficient.
The patch fixes a dentry cache corruption issue observed on arm64 and which is in theory possible on other architectures. I've recevied an off-list report from someone who's hit the issue on the v6.5.y tree specifically.
Thanks, Mark

Already done, it came in via AUTOSEL.

Ah! Thanks for confirming, and sorry for the noise. :)
I see now that that's in stable-queue.git -- I'll remember to go check that too in future.
Mark.
