commit e6ba5273d4ede03d075d7a116b8edad1f6115f4d upstream.
[I had to fix the cherry-pick manually as the patch added a line around some context that was missing.]
What stable tree(s) is this for?$
Looks like it applied only to 5.15.y. Can you also provide backports for the other older kernels that these are needed for?
Hi Greg!
I sent a series that should apply from v5.8 through 5.12 (excepting one patch that was already on 5.10 but not the other trees, for some reason). I also sent a series for 5.13 and one for 5.14.
The code prior to 5.8 still has this bug, going back to the first release with ice, (4.20), but it is different enough that I had trouble determining what the correct patch is. Especially for the first patch which is necessary for the later fixes, since it introduces the lock we need. I'm going to spend a bit more time later this evening to see if I can sort it out. If not, we may have to live without the fixes on those trees.
Thanks, Jake
