This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block: Fix elevator_get_default() checking for NULL q->tag_set 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: block-fix-elevator_get_default-checking-for-null-q-t.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 f5b9ddd476dcfe52f8a41985ec05797855553ab5 Author: SurajSonawane2415 <surajsonawane0215@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 7 16:44:16 2024 +0530 block: Fix elevator_get_default() checking for NULL q->tag_set [ Upstream commit b402328a24ee7193a8ab84277c0c90ae16768126 ] elevator_get_default() and elv_support_iosched() both check for whether or not q->tag_set is non-NULL, however it's not possible for them to be NULL. This messes up some static checkers, as the checking of tag_set isn't consistent. Remove the checks, which both simplifies the logic and avoids checker errors.
