This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/smp: __smp_rescan_cpus() - move cpumask away from stack to the 4.9-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: s390-smp-__smp_rescan_cpus-move-cpumask-away-from-st.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 309029564c48e9cbed6c6e67daa18649a2881aa9 Author: Heiko Carstens <hca@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 17 07:13:02 2021 +0100 s390/smp: __smp_rescan_cpus() - move cpumask away from stack [ Upstream commit 62c8dca9e194326802b43c60763f856d782b225c ] Avoid a potentially large stack frame and overflow by making "cpumask_t avail" a static variable. There is no concurrent access due to the existing locking.
