This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mlxsw: i2c: Limit single transaction buffer size to the 5.10-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: mlxsw-i2c-limit-single-transaction-buffer-size.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ad9d6da84e938be50ce34ab6fa3de8e5dba96c1b Author: Vadim Pasternak <vadimp@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 24 15:43:09 2023 +0200 mlxsw: i2c: Limit single transaction buffer size [ Upstream commit d7248f1cc835bd80e936dc5b2d94b149bdd0077d ] Maximum size of buffer is obtained from underlying I2C adapter and in case adapter allows I2C transaction buffer size greater than 100 bytes, transaction will fail due to firmware limitation. As a result driver will fail initialization. Limit the maximum size of transaction buffer by 100 bytes to fit to firmware. Remove unnecessary calculation: max_t(u16, MLXSW_I2C_BLK_DEF, quirk_size). This condition can not happened.
