Subject: v6.5 backport request: 6d2779ecaeb56f92 ("locking/atomic: scripts: fix fallback ifdeffery")
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2023 17:18:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZRw-0snchQiF5shv@FVFF77S0Q05N> (raw)

Hi,

Could we please backport commit:

  6d2779ecaeb56f92d7105c56772346c71c88c278
  ("locking/atomic: scripts: fix fallback ifdeffery")

... to the 6.5.y stable tree?

I forgot to Cc stable when I submitted the original patch, and had (mistakenly)
assumed that the Fixes tag was sufficient.

The patch fixes a dentry cache corruption issue observed on arm64 and which is
in theory possible on other architectures. I've recevied an off-list report
from someone who's hit the issue on the v6.5.y tree specifically.

Thanks,
Mark
