This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvmet-fc: free queue and assoc directly to the 6.7-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: nvmet-fc-free-queue-and-assoc-directly.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 878d9508c5258a8f2b8fc37e19b82b91c9065006 Author: Daniel Wagner <dwagner@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 31 09:51:05 2024 +0100 nvmet-fc: free queue and assoc directly [ Upstream commit c5e27b1a779ec25779d04c3af65aebaee6bd4304 ] Neither struct nvmet_fc_tgt_queue nor struct nvmet_fc_tgt_assoc are data structure which are used in a RCU context. So there is no reason to delay the free operation.
