This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled selftests/resctrl: Close perf value read fd on errors to the 6.5-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: selftests-resctrl-close-perf-value-read-fd-on-errors.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 858279f5a1d3c1f2a86035bcf00405e91c27bc93 Author: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 17 16:14:52 2023 +0300 selftests/resctrl: Close perf value read fd on errors [ Upstream commit 51a0c3b7f028169e40db930575dd01fe81c3e765 ] Perf event fd (fd_lm) is not closed when run_fill_buf() returns error. Close fd_lm only in cat_val() to make it easier to track it is always closed.
