This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ionic: start watchdog after all is setup to the 5.17-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: ionic-start-watchdog-after-all-is-setup.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 97a76d5faa46276e17802901a6a87501e79ea7c0 Author: Shannon Nelson <snelson@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jan 24 10:52:58 2022 -0800 ionic: start watchdog after all is setup [ Upstream commit 9ad2939a1525962a79a2fd974ec7e3a71455b964 ] The watchdog expects the lif to fully exist when it goes off, so lets not start the watchdog until all is ready in case there is some quirky time dialation that makes probe take multiple seconds.
