Thanks, but when fixing a bug, please always describe the runtime
effects of that bug. Amongst other things, other people need this
information to be able to decide which kernel versions need patching.
Reported-by: syzbot+32d3767580a1ea339a81@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Which is a reason why we're now adding the "Closes:" tag after
Reported-by:.
Which is also one reason why you should always run scripts/checkpatch.pl
on your patch. This alerted me to the need for a "Closes:" tag
after Reported-by: on the last patch I sent.
I googled the sysbot email address and so added
Closes: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/0000000000000526f2060a30a085@xxxxxxxxxx
to the changelog.
Thanks. That is indeed the sysbot issue that the patch fixes.
I'll assume that a -stable kernel backport is needed.
Yes.
