This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: stmmac: reduce unnecessary wakeups from eee sw timer to the 5.16-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-stmmac-reduce-unnecessary-wakeups-from-eee-sw-ti.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 58d1f7c3160f93f8584eed053c50ee7951d356aa Author: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jan 23 23:54:58 2022 +0800 net: stmmac: reduce unnecessary wakeups from eee sw timer [ Upstream commit c74ead223deb88bdf18af8c772d7ca5a9b6c3c2b ] Currently, on EEE capable platforms, if EEE SW timer is used, the SW timer cause 1 wakeup/s even if the TX has successfully entered EEE. Remove this unnecessary wakeup by only calling mod_timer() if we haven't successfully entered EEE. Signed-off-by: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
