This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: hns3: fix kernel crash when devlink reload during pf initialization to the 6.8-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: net-hns3-fix-kernel-crash-when-devlink-reload-during.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 997f0fd61e67ef4785fd27db6fcb32cd7a393fd9 Author: Yonglong Liu <liuyonglong@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Mar 25 20:43:10 2024 +0800 net: hns3: fix kernel crash when devlink reload during pf initialization [ Upstream commit 93305b77ffcb042f1538ecc383505e87d95aa05a ] The devlink reload process will access the hardware resources, but the register operation is done before the hardware is initialized. So, processing the devlink reload during initialization may lead to kernel crash. This patch fixes this by taking devl_lock during initialization.
