This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/dpaa2: Avoid explicit cpumask var allocation on stack 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: net-dpaa2-avoid-explicit-cpumask-var-allocation-on-s.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. commit c239a5cf1f2841efc82cd1b33751cba016cf82bb Author: Dawei Li <dawei.li@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Mar 31 13:34:41 2024 +0800 net/dpaa2: Avoid explicit cpumask var allocation on stack [ Upstream commit d33fe1714a44ff540629b149d8fab4ac6967585c ] For CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y kernel, explicit allocation of cpumask variable on stack is not recommended since it can cause potential stack overflow. Instead, kernel code should always use *cpumask_var API(s) to allocate cpumask var in config-neutral way, leaving allocation strategy to CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK. Use *cpumask_var API(s) to address it.
