This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block: null_blk: Fix handling of fake timeout request 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: block-null_blk-fix-handling-of-fake-timeout-request.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 f6f18e7f248f9fce5439949fe6a5b53e609b3cae Author: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 14 13:11:05 2023 +0900 block: null_blk: Fix handling of fake timeout request [ Upstream commit 63f886597085f346276e3b3c8974de0100d65f32 ] When injecting a fake timeout into the null_blk driver using fail_io_timeout, the request timeout handler does not execute blk_mq_complete_request(), so the complete callback is never executed for a timedout request. The null_blk driver also has a driver-specific fake timeout mechanism which does not have this problem. Fix the problem with fail_io_timeout by using the same meachanism as null_blk internal timeout feature, using the fake_timeout field of null_blk commands.
