This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block: ublk_drv: mark device as LIVE before adding disk 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-ublk_drv-mark-device-as-live-before-adding-dis.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 beba79eaaabc39d24e3af9a7011df32df1f172dc Author: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Mar 18 22:12:31 2023 +0800 block: ublk_drv: mark device as LIVE before adding disk [ Upstream commit 4985e7b2c002eb4c5c794a1d3acd91b82c89a0fd ] IO can be started before add_disk() returns, such as reading parititon table, then the monitor work should work for making forward progress. So mark device as LIVE before adding disk, meantime change to DEAD if add_disk() fails.
