This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nfsd: silence extraneous printk on nfsd.ko insertion 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: nfsd-silence-extraneous-printk-on-nfsd.ko-insertion.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 8b1ff30e7bca689280c2115276d86c312ea810a4 Author: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 20 08:39:23 2022 -0400 nfsd: silence extraneous printk on nfsd.ko insertion [ Upstream commit 3a5940bfa17fb9964bf9688b4356ca643a8f5e2d ] This printk pops every time nfsd.ko gets plugged in. Most kmods don't do that and this one is not very informative. Olaf's email address seems to be defunct at this point anyway. Just drop it.
