This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled blk-mq-pci: add a fallback when pci_irq_get_affinity returns NULL to the 4.12-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: blk-mq-pci-add-a-fallback-when-pci_irq_get_affinity-returns-null.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From c005390374957baacbc38eef96ea360559510aa7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2017 12:24:47 +0200 Subject: blk-mq-pci: add a fallback when pci_irq_get_affinity returns NULL From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> commit c005390374957baacbc38eef96ea360559510aa7 upstream. While pci_irq_get_affinity should never fail for SMP kernel that implement the affinity mapping, it will always return NULL in the UP case, so provide a fallback mapping of all queues to CPU 0 in that case.
