This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled VMCI: Use set_page_dirty_lock() when unregistering guest memory to the 5.11-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: vmci-use-set_page_dirty_lock-when-unregistering-gues.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a3bee5ffcfcafdf78d75b1c90dd1a794752dd171 Author: Jorgen Hansen <jhansen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 20 08:32:40 2021 -0800 VMCI: Use set_page_dirty_lock() when unregistering guest memory [ Upstream commit 5a16c535409f8dcb7568e20737309e3027ae3e49 ] When the VMCI host support releases guest memory in the case where the VM was killed, the pinned guest pages aren't locked. Use set_page_dirty_lock() instead of set_page_dirty(). Testing done: Killed VM while having an active VMCI based vSocket connection and observed warning from ext4. With this fix, no warning was observed. Ran various vSocket tests without issues. Fixes: 06164d2b72aa ("VMCI: queue pairs implementation.")
