This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: block: Don't check REQ_ATOMIC for reads to the 6.11-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: scsi-block-don-t-check-req_atomic-for-reads.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2ee6f7f92ef95cb6cd79f2e4000f5e6be34c846a Author: John Garry <john.g.garry@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 5 11:33:15 2024 +0000 scsi: block: Don't check REQ_ATOMIC for reads [ Upstream commit ea6787c695ab7595d851c3506f67c157f3b593c0 ] We check in submit_bio_noacct() if flag REQ_ATOMIC is set for both read and write operations, and then validate the atomic operation if set. Flag REQ_ATOMIC can only be set for writes, so don't bother checking for reads.
