Is this a regression (i.e. did this hardware work on older kernels?), and if so, what commit caused the problem?
These commits are already in 5.10.y, what changed in older kernels to require this to be backported?
Hello Greg,
Can the same 2 patches also be applied to 4.14.y, which one of distros is based on?
4.14.y crashes during ibft boot with KASAN enabled without the 2 patches.
What about 4.19.y? You do not want to skip anything in the middle, right?
And I need an ack from the authors and maintainers of these changes before I can take them into the stable trees. Any reason you didn't cc: them all?
CC+ maintainers
Rafael and Mike,
We need Rafael's 2 upstream ACPI commits (1a1c130a & 6998a88) backported to more of the stable branches - at least in 5.4.y, 4.14.y, and 4.19.y.
Can you (along with the other maintainers) ACK the request?
Sure, please send an inclusion request to stable@vger.kernel.org as per the documentation with a CC to me and I'll respond with an ACK if needed.
Thanks!
