This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: fix finalize message on error return 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: spi-fix-finalize-message-on-error-return.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 2384fac7449d9256b82bc1aeed3270476e6f7bdd Author: David Lechner <dlechner@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 25 14:53:09 2024 -0600 spi: fix finalize message on error return [ Upstream commit 8c2ae772fe08e33f3d7a83849e85539320701abd ] In __spi_pump_transfer_message(), the message was not finalized in the first error return as it is in the other error return paths. Not finalizing the message could cause anything waiting on the message to complete to hang forever. This adds the missing call to spi_finalize_current_message().
