This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/mlx5: Allow async trigger completion execution on single CPU systems to the 6.0-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-mlx5-allow-async-trigger-completion-execution-on.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0e296e7cdcae169ae33cf6d54ba449592416c8d3 Author: Roy Novich <royno@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 2 23:55:38 2022 -0700 net/mlx5: Allow async trigger completion execution on single CPU systems [ Upstream commit 2808b37b59288ad8f1897e3546c2296df3384b65 ] For a single CPU system, the kernel thread executing mlx5_cmd_flush() never releases the CPU but calls down_trylock(&cmd→sem) in a busy loop. On a single processor system, this leads to a deadlock as the kernel thread which executes mlx5_cmd_invoke() never gets scheduled. Fix this, by adding the cond_resched() call to the loop, allow the command completion kernel thread to execute.
