This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ice: don't allow to run ice_send_event_to_aux() in atomic ctx to the 5.15-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: ice-don-t-allow-to-run-ice_send_event_to_aux-in-atom.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a38009bec61c391c57f5012b4ecc3c29f3b9b28c Author: Alexander Lobakin <alexandr.lobakin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 23 13:43:53 2022 +0100 ice: don't allow to run ice_send_event_to_aux() in atomic ctx [ Upstream commit 5a3156932da06f09953764de113419f254086faf ] ice_send_event_to_aux() eventually descends to mutex_lock() (-> might_sched()), so it must not be called under non-task context. However, at least two fixes have happened already for the bug splats occurred due to this function being called from atomic context. To make the emergency landings softer, bail out early when executed in non-task context emitting a warn splat only once. This way we trade some events being potentially lost for system stability and avoid any related hangs and crashes.
