This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: PPC: Book3S HV nestedv2: Fix an error handling path in gs_msg_ops_kvmhv_nestedv2_config_fill_info() 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: kvm-ppc-book3s-hv-nestedv2-fix-an-error-handling-pat.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 d80884ac684aa69626fdee01f45ec8fc8b1076f8 Author: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jan 28 12:34:25 2024 +0100 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV nestedv2: Fix an error handling path in gs_msg_ops_kvmhv_nestedv2_config_fill_info() [ Upstream commit b52e8cd3f835869370f8540f1bc804a47a47f02b ] The return value of kvmppc_gse_put_buff_info() is not assigned to 'rc' and 'rc' is uninitialized at this point. So the error handling can not work. Assign the expected value to 'rc' to fix the issue.
