This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled misc: sgi-gru: Don't disable preemption in GRU driver to the 5.10-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: misc-sgi-gru-don-t-disable-preemption-in-gru-driver.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cfd122eaff84109d35b323fadbecb3aeacc483cd Author: Dimitri Sivanich <sivanich@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 19 07:34:50 2024 -0500 misc: sgi-gru: Don't disable preemption in GRU driver [ Upstream commit b983b271662bd6104d429b0fd97af3333ba760bf ] Disabling preemption in the GRU driver is unnecessary, and clashes with sleeping locks in several code paths. Remove preempt_disable and preempt_enable from the GRU driver.
