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 :

Created attachment 303605 [details] My dmesg
After 6.1.5 kernel update my vm locks up at boot, and dmesg says "BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000005" (more details in attachment)
I have few drives attached to vm with io_uring
<driver name="qemu" type="raw" cache="none" io="io_uring" discard="unmap" detect_zeroes="off"/>
[reply] [−] Comment 1 Sergey V. 2023-01-15 06:51:54 UTC
After update from 6.1.4 to 6.1.5, rollback to 6.1.4 solve the problem
From the attached dmesg:

See the ticket for more details.
[TLDR for the rest of this mail: I'm adding this report to the list of tracked Linux kernel regressions; the text you find below is based on a few templates paragraphs you might have encountered already in similar form.]
BTW, let me use this mail to also add the report to the list of tracked regressions to ensure it's doesn't fall through the cracks:
#regzbot introduced: v6.1.4..v6.1.5 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216932 #regzbot title: io_uring: NULL pointer dereference #regzbot ignore-activity
This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me -- ideally while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page listed in the footer of this mail.
Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags pointing to the report (e.g. the buzgzilla ticket and maybe this mail as well, if this thread sees some discussion). See page linked in footer for details.
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) -- Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page.

Greg/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...

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?

What I'm asking is if we have something like Depends-on or similar that would explain this dependency. Then patch 2/2 could have:
Depends-on: 613b14884b85 ("block: handle bio_split_to_limits() NULL return")
and then it'd be clear that either both get added, or none of them.

block: don't allow splitting of a REQ_NOWAIT bio
got picked up by stable, but not the required prep patch:
commit 613b14884b8595e20b9fac4126bf627313827fbe Author: Jens Axboe axboe@kernel.dk Date: Wed Jan 4 08:51:19 2023 -0700
block: handle bio_split_to_limits() NULL return
Greg/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?
What I'm asking is if we have something like Depends-on or similar that would explain this dependency. Then patch 2/2 could have:
Depends-on: 613b14884b85 ("block: handle bio_split_to_limits() NULL return")
and then it'd be clear that either both get added, or none of them.
As per the documentation, you can put this on the cc: stable line in the changelog text like: cc: stable stable@vger.kernel.org # 613b14884b85
thanks,

Gotcha, will try and remember that :-)
