This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vduse: Use proper spinlock for IRQ injection to the 5.15-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: vduse-use-proper-spinlock-for-irq-injection.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8344cbd21088312bfdc8749fda2bef6e12e3b085 Author: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 5 13:45:05 2023 +0200 vduse: Use proper spinlock for IRQ injection [ Upstream commit 7ca26efb09a1543fddb29308ea3b63b66cb5d3ee ] The IRQ injection work used spin_lock_irq() to protect the scheduling of the softirq, but spin_lock_bh() should be used. With spin_lock_irq(), we noticed delay of more than 6 seconds between the time a NAPI polling work is scheduled and the time it is executed.
