This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvme-multipath: set bdi capabilities once to the 5.7-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nvme-multipath-set-bdi-capabilities-once.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 918ae436c112962b408d439e0a82ab2dd7f645d6 Author: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 9 09:09:04 2020 -0700 nvme-multipath: set bdi capabilities once [ Upstream commit b2ce4d90690bd29ce5b554e203cd03682dd59697 ] The queues' backing device info capabilities don't change with each namespace revalidation. Set it only when each path's request_queue is initially added to a multipath queue.
