This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vdpa/mlx5: Avoid using reslock in event_handler 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: vdpa-mlx5-avoid-using-reslock-in-event_handler.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 b586e508c75ae01b0a17e2166683552a05a74373 Author: Eli Cohen <elic@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 14 15:17:55 2022 +0200 vdpa/mlx5: Avoid using reslock in event_handler [ Upstream commit 0dbc1b4ae07d003b2e88ba9d4142846320f8e349 ] event_handler runs under atomic context and may not acquire reslock. We can still guarantee that the handler won't be called after suspend by clearing nb_registered, unregistering the handler and flushing the workqueue.
