This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled blk-cgroup: avoid to warn !rcu_read_lock_held() in blkg_lookup() to the 6.6-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: blk-cgroup-avoid-to-warn-rcu_read_lock_held-in-blkg_.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fdb6785afbafe8981477a5cda947e5f2cc941d85 Author: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 17 10:35:23 2023 +0800 blk-cgroup: avoid to warn !rcu_read_lock_held() in blkg_lookup() [ Upstream commit 35a99d6557cacbc177314735342f77a2dda41872 ] So far, all callers either holds spin lock or rcu read explicitly, and most of the caller has added WARN_ON_ONCE(!rcu_read_lock_held()) or lockdep_assert_held(&disk->queue->queue_lock). Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!rcu_read_lock_held()) from blkg_lookup() for killing the false positive warning from blkg_conf_prep().
