This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled qed: Don't use attention PTT for configuring BW to the 4.9-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: qed-don-t-use-attention-ptt-for-configuring-bw.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Oct 19 15:04:02 CEST 2017 From: "Mintz, Yuval" <Yuval.Mintz@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2017 11:06:33 +0200 Subject: qed: Don't use attention PTT for configuring BW From: "Mintz, Yuval" <Yuval.Mintz@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6f437d431930ff86e4a971d29321951faadb97c7 ] Commit 653d2ffd6405 ("qed*: Fix link indication race") introduced another race - one of the inner functions called from the link-change flow is explicitly using the slowpath context dedicated PTT instead of gaining that PTT from the caller. Since this flow can now be called from a different context as well, we're in risk of the PTT breaking.
