This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvme: retrigger ANA log update if group descriptor isn't found to the 5.10-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: nvme-retrigger-ana-log-update-if-group-descriptor-is.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2ee5c663d79e16268bd31bb78f71eb59edcb850c Author: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx> Date: Sat Dec 5 16:29:01 2020 +0100 nvme: retrigger ANA log update if group descriptor isn't found [ Upstream commit dd8f7fa908f66dd44abcd83cbb50410524b9f8ef ] If ANA is enabled but no ANA group descriptor is found when creating a new namespace the ANA log is most likely out of date, so trigger a re-read. The namespace will be tagged with the NS_ANA_PENDING flag to exclude it from path selection until the ANA log has been re-read.
