Hello stable-list,
I think this subjected patch [1] missed the below fixes tag.
I guess the subjected patch is only picked for 5.7. And
AFAIU, this patch will be needed for 5.6 as well.
Could you please do the needful.
Fixes: 244adf6426ee31a (ext4: make dioread_nolock the default)
[1]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git/commit/?h=dev&id=626b035b816b61a7a7b4d2205a6807e2f11a18c1
This patch does not apply to the 5.6 kernel tree at all. Please provide
a working backport if you wish to see it present there.
Sorry if that's the case.
I tried both "git cherry-pick" and "git am" with patch mentioned @ [1]
to apply on branch "remotes/linux-stable/linux-5.6.y" of tree
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
and it applied cleanly.
Also, just noticed this patch in the queue. Is it that maybe you are
trying to apply it twice?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/queue-5.6/ext4-don-t-set-dioread_nolock-by-default-for-blocksi.patch
Do let me know if I am missing anything here.
