This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled qed: Don't ignore devlink allocation failures 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: qed-don-t-ignore-devlink-allocation-failures.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 26b8128e820490eb0187d6c49315c245ce27887c Author: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 23 21:12:53 2021 +0300 qed: Don't ignore devlink allocation failures [ Upstream commit e6a54d6f221301347aaf9d83bb1f23129325c1c5 ] devlink is a software interface that doesn't depend on any hardware capabilities. The failure in SW means memory issues, wrong parameters, programmer error e.t.c. Like any other such interface in the kernel, the returned status of devlink APIs should be checked and propagated further and not ignored.
