Hi,
The upstream commit SHA1 provided is correct: 89fc548767a2155231128cb98726d6d2ea1256c9
WARNING: Author mismatch between patch and upstream commit:
Backport author: Sherry Yang <sherry.yang@xxxxxxxxxx>
Commit author: Sungjong Seo <sj1557.seo@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Status in newer kernel trees:
6.12.y | Present (exact SHA1)
6.6.y | Present (different SHA1: a7ac198f8dba)
6.1.y | Not found
5.15.y | Not found
I didn’t backport the commit to linux-stable-6.1.y, because 6.1.y didn’t backport the culprit commit
a3ff29a95fde ("exfat: support dynamic allocate bh for exfat_entry_set_cache”), so not influenced.
However, both linux-stable-5.15.y and linux-stable-5.10.y actually backported the culprit commit. So I’m trying to fix it on 5.15.y and 5.10.y.
Let me know if you have more questions about it.
That's confusing, why doesn't 6.1.y have that commit? Shouldn't we also
add it there along with this one?
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230809103650.353831735@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/#t
Commit a3ff29a95fde ("exfat: support dynamic allocate bh for
exfat_entry_set_cache”) which is present in 5.10.y and 5.15.y but not in
6.1.y is added as a stable-dependency "Stable-dep-of: d42334578eba
("exfat: check if filename entries exceeds max filename length") ", but
this(d42334578eba - filename length check) is present in 6.1.y without
commit a3ff29a95fde , so probably stable-dep-of is not accurate.
Given that now we already have a3ff29a95fde ("exfat: support dynamic
allocate bh for exfat_entry_set_cache”) to 5.15.y and 5.10.y, I think we
should add it and the fix to 6.1.y as well.
For 6.1.y here are the upstream commits: (Starting from 1 -- cleanly
applies and builds fine, haven't done any exfat related testing though.)
1. a3ff29a95fde ("exfat: support dynamic allocate bh for
exfat_entry_set_cache”)
2. commit: 89fc548767a2 ("exfat: fix potential deadlock on
__exfat_get_dentry_set")
Let me know if you want me to send two patches instead, I can do that.
Thanks,
Harshit
