This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled io_uring: use the right type for work_llist empty check 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: io_uring-use-the-right-type-for-work_llist-empty-che.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 58f1bcaa03a98da7b633b6f8ca0a97a70912cc92 Author: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Mar 25 18:53:33 2024 -0600 io_uring: use the right type for work_llist empty check [ Upstream commit 22537c9f79417fed70b352d54d01d2586fee9521 ] io_task_work_pending() uses wq_list_empty() on ctx->work_llist, but it's not an io_wq_work_list, it's a struct llist_head. They both have ->first as head-of-list, and it turns out the checks are identical. But be proper and use the right helper.
