This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block: ensure we hold a queue reference when using queue limits to the 6.1-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: block-ensure-we-hold-a-queue-reference-when-using-qu.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fd71735a16fa04b89c9c9b7ffda031562212bec6 Author: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 12 09:12:20 2024 -0700 block: ensure we hold a queue reference when using queue limits [ Upstream commit 7b4f36cd22a65b750b4cb6ac14804fb7d6e6c67d ] q_usage_counter is the only thing preventing us from the limits changing under us in __bio_split_to_limits, but blk_mq_submit_bio doesn't hold it while calling into it. Move the splitting inside the region where we know we've got a queue reference. Ideally this could still remain a shared section of code, but let's keep the fix simple and defer any refactoring here to later.
