Subject: Re: [PATCH] ext4: Don't set dioread_nolock by default for blocksize < pagesize

Hello stable-list,

I think this subjected patch [1] missed the below fixes tag.
I guess the subjected patch is only picked for 5.7. And
AFAIU, this patch will be needed for 5.6 as well.

Could you please do the needful.

Fixes: 244adf6426ee31a (ext4: make dioread_nolock the default)
