This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled rxrpc: Fix _usecs_to_jiffies() by using usecs_to_jiffies() 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: rxrpc-fix-_usecs_to_jiffies-by-using-usecs_to_jiffie.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 9594712868196af44572594863ba180d615798ed Author: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 24 03:18:37 2021 +0000 rxrpc: Fix _usecs_to_jiffies() by using usecs_to_jiffies() [ Upstream commit acde891c243c1ed85b19d4d5042bdf00914f5739 ] Directly using _usecs_to_jiffies() might be unsafe, so it's better to use usecs_to_jiffies() instead. Because we can see that the result of _usecs_to_jiffies() could be larger than MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET values without the check of the input.
