This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled memstick/ms_block: Add check for alloc_ordered_workqueue to the 6.1-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: memstick-ms_block-add-check-for-alloc_ordered_workqu.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5a6e88d60ee633fc5984a71671fe4d599cbbf6e8 Author: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 26 09:25:58 2022 +0800 memstick/ms_block: Add check for alloc_ordered_workqueue [ Upstream commit 4f431a047a5c8698ed4b67e2760cfbeb5fffb69d ] As the alloc_ordered_workqueue may return NULL pointer, it should be better to add check for the return value. Moreover, the msb->io_queue should be freed if error occurs later.
