This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled blk-mq: initialize mq kobjects in blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() 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: blk-mq-initialize-mq-kobjects-in-blk_mq_init_allocated_queue.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 Tue Dec 12 13:26:17 CET 2017 From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 18:13:59 +0800 Subject: blk-mq: initialize mq kobjects in blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 737f98cfe7de8df7433a4d846850aa8efa44bd48 ] Both q->mq_kobj and sw queues' kobjects should have been initialized once, instead of doing that each add_disk context. Also this patch removes clearing of ctx in blk_mq_init_cpu_queues() because percpu allocator fills zero to allocated variable. This patch fixes one issue[1] reported from Omar.
