This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dm verity: skip redundant verity_handle_err() on I/O errors to the 5.4-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: dm-verity-skip-redundant-verity_handle_err-on-i-o-er.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2c62be506cff39c7694a6cd3b0bb781c04d6e461 Author: Akilesh Kailash <akailash@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 13 09:26:42 2021 +0000 dm verity: skip redundant verity_handle_err() on I/O errors [ Upstream commit 2c0468e054c0adb660ac055fc396622ec7235df9 ] Without FEC, dm-verity won't call verity_handle_err() when I/O fails, but with FEC enabled, it currently does even if an I/O error has occurred. If there is an I/O error and FEC correction fails, return the error instead of calling verity_handle_err() again.
