[mike.travis]

[-- Attachment #1: fix-gam-mmioh-config1 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1076 bytes --]

A critical error was found testing the fixed UV4 HUB in that an MMR
address was found to be incorrect.  This causes the virtual address
space for accessing the MMIOH1 region to be allocated with the
incorrect size.

suggesting that this is against a kernel, which receives respiration
treatment, it would be appreciated if you could add a Fixes tag next time.

That spares me the time to figure out which commit introduced the wreckage
and therefore the scope of the fix. Added it myself.

Yes, I realized I missed 'stable' a moment or two after hitting send.

Fwd: [tip:x86/urgent] x86/platform/UV: Fix critical UV MMR address error

[Mike Travis]

This was sent to stable@vger.kernel.org almost 2 weeks ago and I haven't 
heard anything back yet.  Is there any update on the status?  (sorry for 
the bad formatting, this is the only way I can forward the email.  I can 
only resend the original email before the commit email from Thomas.)

Thanks.

How did you send it?

Ugh, you bounced it?  No wonder I didn't do anything with it at all, it
looked exactly like a "this is being committed to the TIP tree" type
message.

How was I supposed to know what to do with it?

Please be more specific next time, read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

A simple "please commit git id XXXXX to the X.X tree" is all that is
needed.

Wait, in looking closer at this:

Ok, that commit showed up in 4.16:
	$ git describe --contains bd47a85acd727e27b7283daff557865ad04c59f6
	v4.16~2^2

But the commit this fixes:

Is in 4.16-rc1:
	$ git describe --contains 673aa20c55a1
	v4.16-rc1~174^2~9

And is not backported to any other stable tree that I see:
	$ fr 673aa20c55a1
	4.16
	$ alias fr
	alias fr='~/linux/scripts/fix_in_what_release'

So what exactly am I supposed to do with this commit?  What do you want
to see done with it?

totally confused,

I'll definitely do this in the future.

For my info which "X.X" tree is significant?  In this case I'm guessing 
that it would be the version where the breakage occurred?  Or is it some 
other specific major or minor version change?

The end goal is for the distros to pull them in and they usually monitor 
certain stable trees for new commits for their own releases.  But they 
generally don't share with us those details.

I am too.  The earlier "breakage" was committed on Jan 8th and has been 
pulled into earlier releases by the distros.  It was the initial patch 
for enabling UV4A HUB systems, so it was not a fix to software, but an 
update in response to fixed hardware (to allow NVDIMMS and Icelake CPUs).

Should this have been pushed to "stable" as well?

That's up to you to decide looking at where the breakage happened.  If
you do not know this, then asking for a patch to be backported is a bit
odd :)

The "end goal" for the stable list is to get patches into the stable
kernel trees.  If you want to deal with the distros, work with the
distros directly.

Remember, it's guessed that only about 1/3 of the systems out there are
actually running the "enterprise distros", the other 2/3 are either
running kernel.org kernels or Debian.  So if you want the majority of
the systems to have your patches, please just worry about the stable
kernels.

Again, I don't care about the "distros", that's not what you are asking
