This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvme: fix bogus kzalloc() return check in nvme_init_effects_log() to the 6.13-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: nvme-fix-bogus-kzalloc-return-check-in-nvme_init_eff.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f41faa379beb225f916587af83f5804b0a7953c2 Author: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jan 13 10:27:54 2025 -0700 nvme: fix bogus kzalloc() return check in nvme_init_effects_log() [ Upstream commit 170e086ad3997f816d1f551f178a03a626a130b7 ] nvme_init_effects_log() returns failure when kzalloc() is successful, which is obviously wrong and causes failures to boot. Correct the check.
