This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/mlx5: Don't call timecounter cyc2time directly from 1PPS flow to the 5.8-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: net-mlx5-don-t-call-timecounter-cyc2time-directly-fr.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d467c2d437da62d010267ebfb5d1aa12aee7f439 Author: Eran Ben Elisha <eranbe@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 16 12:07:10 2020 +0300 net/mlx5: Don't call timecounter cyc2time directly from 1PPS flow [ Upstream commit 0d2ffdc8d4002a62de31ff7aa3bef28c843c3cbe ] Before calling timecounter_cyc2time(), clock->lock must be taken. Use mlx5_timecounter_cyc2time instead which guarantees a safe access.
