This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled riscv: Disable preemption when using patch_map() 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: riscv-disable-preemption-when-using-patch_map.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 7a78af71a238df62314d0a6bd654b2a2c8c15152 Author: Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 26 21:30:17 2024 +0100 riscv: Disable preemption when using patch_map() [ Upstream commit a370c2419e4680a27382d9231edcf739d5d74efc ] patch_map() uses fixmap mappings to circumvent the non-writability of the kernel text mapping. The __set_fixmap() function only flushes the current cpu tlb, it does not emit an IPI so we must make sure that while we use a fixmap mapping, the current task is not migrated on another cpu which could miss the newly introduced fixmap mapping. So in order to avoid any task migration, disable the preemption.
