I don't object to putting them in 6.8 if there was additional review (it is quite large), but I expect there would be pushback, and am concerned that David's status update did still show some TODOs for that patch series. I do plan to upload his most recent set to cifs-2.6.git for-next later in the week and target would be for merging the patch series would be 6.9-rc1 unless major issues were found in review or testing On Tue, Feb 6, 2024 at 9:42 PM Matthew Ruffell <matthew.ruffell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I have bisected the issue, and found the commit that introduces the problem: > > commit d08089f649a0cfb2099c8551ac47eef0cc23fdf2 > Author: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Mon Jan 24 21:13:24 2022 +0000 > Subject: cifs: Change the I/O paths to use an iterator rather than a page list > Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d08089f649a0cfb2099c8551ac47eef0cc23fdf2 > > $ git describe --contains d08089f649a0cfb2099c8551ac47eef0cc23fdf2 > v6.3-rc1~136^2~7 > > David, I also tried your cifs-netfs tree available here: > > https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=cifs-netfs > > This tree solves the issue.
