This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ibmvnic: clear fop when retrying probe 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: ibmvnic-clear-fop-when-retrying-probe.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 f506ab7d60835d4fb1d03a52e783b22c0304636e Author: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 24 22:23:57 2022 -0800 ibmvnic: clear fop when retrying probe [ Upstream commit f628ad531b4f34fdba0984255b4a2850dd369513 ] Clear ->failover_pending flag that may have been set in the previous pass of registering CRQ. If we don't clear, a subsequent ibmvnic_open() call would be misled into thinking a failover is pending and assuming that the reset worker thread would open the adapter. If this pass of registering the CRQ succeeds (i.e there is no transport event), there wouldn't be a reset worker thread. This would leave the adapter unconfigured and require manual intervention to bring it up during boot.
