This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring/kbuf: get rid of bl->is_ready to the 6.6-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: io_uring-kbuf-get-rid-of-bl-is_ready.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 3b80cff5a4d117c53d38ce805823084eaeffbde6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2024 10:46:40 -0600 Subject: io_uring/kbuf: get rid of bl->is_ready From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit 3b80cff5a4d117c53d38ce805823084eaeffbde6 upstream. Now that xarray is being exclusively used for the buffer_list lookup, this check is no longer needed. Get rid of it and the is_ready member.
