Dear Sasha Levin,
I am the author of a patch series and I am writting you because I have detected an issue with a patch series I have submitted in May'23.
I sent a series of 3 patches to the maintainer. When he approved them, he sent an email to Greg, requesting him to include such patch series in kernel 6.4.
You can check the email thread here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230411083329.4506-1-jth@kernel.org/
For a reason I cannot understand, the AUTOSEL only chose 1 of 3 patches of the series, so only 1 was backported to stable kernel versions.
[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.3 24/24] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid memory overlapping [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.2 20/20] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid memory overlapping [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 19/19] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid memory overlapping [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 10/10] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid memory overlapping [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 9/9] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid memory overlapping [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 9/9] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid memory overlapping [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 9/9] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid memory overlapping [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 8/8] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid memory overlapping
In kernel 6.4 and above, the 3 patches were included.
Including only 1 patch is causing crashes in part of our devices.
Please, could you backport the remaining 2 patches to the stable versions?
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,

I totally missed that patch thread as there was no git commit ids in it, sorry.

autosel comes along later and decided that some of them were to be included, that was independent of your email.

What is the git commit ids that you are asking for to be applied? That's a requirement for us to take stuff.
thanks,

Sure, the commit ids are:

2025b2ca8004c04861903d076c67a73a0ec6dfca (mcb-lpc: Reallocate memory region to avoid memory overlapping)

Sure, I'll queue it up for all active trees. Thanks!
