This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvme: find numa distance only if controller has valid numa id 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: nvme-find-numa-distance-only-if-controller-has-valid.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 793aca2a695a27f0637f3990e1482bda90d39eb3 Author: Nilay Shroff <nilay@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 16 13:49:23 2024 +0530 nvme: find numa distance only if controller has valid numa id [ Upstream commit 863fe60ed27f2c85172654a63c5b827e72c8b2e6 ] On system where native nvme multipath is configured and iopolicy is set to numa but the nvme controller numa node id is undefined or -1 (NUMA_NO_NODE) then avoid calculating node distance for finding optimal io path. In such case we may access numa distance table with invalid index and that may potentially refer to incorrect memory. So this patch ensures that if the nvme controller numa node id is -1 then instead of calculating node distance for finding optimal io path, we set the numa node distance of such controller to default 10 (LOCAL_DISTANCE).
