This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled um: vector: Use GFP_ATOMIC under spin lock to the 5.9-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: um-vector-use-gfp_atomic-under-spin-lock.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c6f2ceec5edea402ec668d798b194dfcd15091c7 Author: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jun 19 13:20:07 2020 +0800 um: vector: Use GFP_ATOMIC under spin lock [ Upstream commit e4e721fe4ccb504a29d1e8d4047667557281d932 ] Use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL under spin lock to fix possible sleep-in-atomic-context bugs.
