This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: qede: use return from qede_parse_flow_attr() for flow_spec 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-qede-use-return-from-qede_parse_flow_attr-for-fl.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 fe46a65d9a3ab07303418debf5f24a288ca409ef Author: Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen <ast@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Apr 26 09:12:25 2024 +0000 net: qede: use return from qede_parse_flow_attr() for flow_spec [ Upstream commit 27b44414a34b108c5a37cd5b4894f606061d86e7 ] In qede_flow_spec_to_rule(), when calling qede_parse_flow_attr() then the return code was only used for a non-zero check, and then -EINVAL was returned. qede_parse_flow_attr() can currently fail with: * -EINVAL * -EOPNOTSUPP * -EPROTONOSUPPORT This patch changes the code to use the actual return code, not just return -EINVAL. The blaimed commit introduced qede_flow_spec_to_rule(), and this call to qede_parse_flow_attr(), it looks like it just duplicated how it was already used. Only compile tested.
