The patch below does not apply to the 6.1-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
To reproduce the conflict and resubmit, you may use the following commands:
git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ linux-6.1.y git checkout FETCH_HEAD git cherry-pick -x 955a923d2809803980ff574270f81510112be9cf # <resolve conflicts, build, test, etc.> git commit -s git send-email --to 'stable@vger.kernel.org' --in-reply-to '2024051347-uncross-jockstrap-5ce0@gregkh' --subject-prefix 'PATCH 6.1.y' HEAD^..
Possible dependencies:
955a923d2809 ("maple_tree: fix mas_empty_area_rev() null pointer dereference") 29ad6bb31348 ("maple_tree: fix allocation in mas_sparse_area()")
^- This patch is needed, and has a fixes tag. I'm not entirely sure why it wasn't included in 6.1 already, but it applies cleanly and fixes the issue with 955a923d2809.
"Fixes:" tags does not mean "will always end up in stable". Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.
Thank you. The Cc of stable was missing but wasn't required at the time, so this patch was not taken and wasn't necessary. It's better to take it now.
fad8e4291da5 ("maple_tree: make maple state reusable after mas_empty_area_rev()")
So you want us to take all of these? Or just the one?
Apologies for not being clear.
The last patch in the list (fad8e4291da5) is reported to be an empty cherry-pick and stable was Cc'ed on that fix.
Please apply: 29ad6bb31348 ("maple_tree: fix allocation in mas_sparse_area()") then 955a923d2809 ("maple_tree: fix mas_empty_area_rev() null pointer dereference")
