This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/{mlx5|nfp|bnxt}: Remove unnecessary RTNL lock assert to the 5.14-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-nfp-bnxt-remove-unnecessary-rtnl-lock-assert.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 7c3a0a018e672a9723a79b128227272562300055 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli Cohen <elic@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2021 07:47:27 +0300 Subject: net/{mlx5|nfp|bnxt}: Remove unnecessary RTNL lock assert From: Eli Cohen <elic@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 7c3a0a018e672a9723a79b128227272562300055 upstream. Remove the assert from the callback priv lookup function since it does not require RTNL lock and is already protected by flow_indr_block_lock. This will avoid warnings from being emitted to dmesg if the driver registers its callback after an ingress qdisc was created for a netdevice. The warnings started after the following patch was merged: commit 74fc4f828769 ("net: Fix offloading indirect devices dependency on qdisc order creation") Signed-off-by: Eli Cohen <elic@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
