This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xfs: check that per-cpu inodegc workers actually run on that cpu 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: xfs-check-that-per-cpu-inodegc-workers-actually-run-.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 afd86b3c5e1ab8fc89d632a031839219d31d54b7 Author: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 21 18:01:54 2023 -0700 xfs: check that per-cpu inodegc workers actually run on that cpu [ Upstream commit b37c4c8339cd394ea6b8b415026603320a185651 ] Now that we've allegedly worked out the problem of the per-cpu inodegc workers being scheduled on the wrong cpu, let's put in a debugging knob to let us know if a worker ever gets mis-scheduled again.
