This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xen-netback: correct success/error reporting for the SKB-with-fraglist case 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: xen-netback-correct-success-error-reporting-for-the-.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. commit 049613261d6af941d3979d4fe5cb063dfe0f904f Author: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 17 08:27:10 2021 +0200 xen-netback: correct success/error reporting for the SKB-with-fraglist case [ Upstream commit 3ede7f84c7c21f93c5eac611d60eba3f2c765e0f ] When re-entering the main loop of xenvif_tx_check_gop() a 2nd time, the special considerations for the head of the SKB no longer apply. Don't mistakenly report ERROR to the frontend for the first entry in the list, even if - from all I can tell - this shouldn't matter much as the overall transmit will need to be considered failed anyway.
