Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.
I noticed a regression report in bugzilla.kernel.org. As many (most?) kernel developer don't keep an eye on it, I decided to forward it by mail. Quoting from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216932 :
Looks like:

block: don't allow splitting of a REQ_NOWAIT biogot picked up by stable, but not the required prep patch:

block: handle bio_split_to_limits() NULL returnGreg/team, can you pick the latter too? It'll pick cleanly for 6.1-stable, not sure how far back the other patch has gone yet.
Looked back, and 5.15 has it too, but the cherry-pick won't work on that kernel.
Here's one for 5.15-stable that I verified crashes before this one, and works with it. Haven't done an allmodconfig yet...
All now queued up, thanks!
Thanks Greg! This one was my fault, as it was a set of 2 patches and I only marked 2/2 for stable. But how is that best handled? 1/2 could've been marked stable as well, but I don't think that would have prevented 2/2 applying fine and 1/2 failing and hence not getting queued up until I would've done a backport.
What's the recommended way to describe the dependency that you only want 2/2 applied when 1/2 is in as well?
