resending to v5.4 stable branch verbatim according to Luis Chamberlain instruction
If this is a backport of an upstream patch you must mention the commit
ID at the top. After
For instance, here is a random commit from v5.15.y branch for stable:
bpf: Add selftests to cover packet access corner cases

Hello,
I have reviewed the module again and I found no new weaknesses, so it is only
a backport from the same commit in torvalds, master, 6.4, 6.1, 5.15 and
5.10 trees/branches.
This is a bit confusing and I am doing this for the first time. In fact, there
was probably a glitch in the patchwork because the comment to the
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx said "# 5.4" ...
However, I do not know which commit ID to refer to:
torvalds 4acfe3dfde685a5a9eaec5555351918e2d7266a1
master 4acfe3dfde685a5a9eaec5555351918e2d7266a1
6.4 4acfe3dfde685a5a9eaec5555351918e2d7266a1
6.1 6111f0add6ffc93612d4abe9fec002319102b1c0
5.15 bfb0b366e8ec23d9a9851898d81c829166b8c17b
5.10 af36f35074b10dda0516cfc63d209accd4ef4d17
Each of the branches 6.4, 6.1, 5.15 and 5.10 appear to have a different commit
ID.
Probably the right commit ID should be:
test_firmware: prevent race conditions by a correct implementation of locking
commit 4acfe3dfde685a5a9eaec5555351918e2d7266a1 master
Will the patchwork figure this out or should I RESEND with a clean slate?
But first I would appreciate a confirmation that I did it right this time ...
Thanks,
Mirsad
If you make modifications to the patch to apply to v5.4.y which
otherwise would let the patch apply you need to specify that in
the commit log, you could do that after your signed-off-by, for
instance you can:
Signed-off-by: Mirsad Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[made some x, y and z changes to ensure it applies to v5.4.y]
If this is a new commit for a fix not yet merged on Linus tree
then your description quoted above does not make it clear.
