This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled seqlock,lockdep: Fix seqcount_latch_init() 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: seqlock-lockdep-fix-seqcount_latch_init.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 14b1d75bc04780a166734b9b6e53beb7e5e00d14 Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 9 15:21:18 2021 +0100 seqlock,lockdep: Fix seqcount_latch_init() [ Upstream commit 4817a52b306136c8b2b2271d8770401441e4cf79 ] seqcount_init() must be a macro in order to preserve the static variable that is used for the lockdep key. Don't then wrap it in an inline function, which destroys that. Luckily there aren't many users of this function, but fix it before it becomes a problem.
