WTF: patch "[PATCH] crypto: qat - add backlog mechanism" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree?

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to 
<stable@vger.kernel.org> and let me know why this patch should be
applied.  Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] crypto: qat - add backlog mechanism

The implementations of the crypto algorithms (aead, skcipher, etc) in
the QAT driver do not properly support requests with the
CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag set. If the HW queue is full, the driver
returns -EBUSY but does not enqueue the request. This can result in
applications like dm-crypt waiting indefinitely for the completion of a
request that was never submitted to the hardware.

Fix this by adding a software backlog queue: if the ring buffer is more
than eighty percent full, then the request is enqueued to a backlog
list and the error code -EBUSY is returned back to the caller.
Requests in the backlog queue are resubmitted at a later time, in the
context of the callback of a previously submitted request.
The request for which -EBUSY is returned is then marked as -EINPROGRESS
once submitted to the HW queues.

The submission loop inside the function qat_alg_send_message() has been
modified to decide which submission policy to use based on the request
flags. If the request does not have the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG set,
the previous behaviour has been preserved.

Based on a patch by
Vishnu Das Ramachandran <vishnu.dasx.ramachandran@intel.com>
