[PATCH v2] PCI: hv: Fix the definition of vector in hv_compose_msi_msg()

[PATCH v2] PCI: hv: Fix the definition of vector in hv_compose_msi_msg()

[Dexuan Cui]

The local variable 'vector' must be u32 rather than u8: see the
struct hv_msi_desc3.

'vector_count' should be u16 rather than u8: see struct hv_msi_desc,
hv_msi_desc2 and hv_msi_desc3.

v1 was posted here (sorry, I forgot to follow this up...):
https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/20220815185505.7626-1-decui@microsoft.com/

Changes in v2:
  Added the explicit "(u8)" cast in hv_compose_msi_msg().
  Added and improved the comments.
  Fixed a typo in the subject in v1: s/definiton/definition

Dexuan, I think this patch should only be in 5.15, because...

The faulty commit a2bad844a67b ("PCI: hv: Fix interrupt mapping for multi-MSI")
is in all the stable branches, even including 4.14.y, so yes, the commit
e70af8d040d2 ("PCI: hv: Fix the definition of vector in hv_compose_msi_msg()")
should be backported to all the stable branches as well, including
v5.15.y, v5.10.y, v5.4.y, v4.19.y, v4.14.y.

e70af8d040d2 has a Fixes tag. Not sure why it's not automatically backported.

Because "Fixes:" is not the flag that we are sure to trigger off of.
Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

That being said, because some subsystem maintainers do NOT put cc:
stable in their patches, we do sometimes sweep the tree and try to pick
up things with only "Fixes:" but we don't always catch everything.

So if you want to be sure a patch is applied, please always add a cc:
stable in the patch.

thanks,

greg k-h

Thanks, I just read this again to refresh my memory :-)
I remember Sasha has an AI algorithm to pick up patches into the stable
tree and a "Fixes" tag should be a strong indicator. 

I tired to manually cherry-pick e70af8d040d2 to 5.15.y and got some
merge conflicts. Probably that's why Sasha's script didn't automatically 
do the backport. @Carl, @Jeffrey, may I know if you have some cycles to
help backport e70af8d040d2?

Hi Greg, since you're here, I'd like to ask a question:

If I add the cc: stable line in a patch and use git-send-email to post
the patch, git-send-email also posts the patch to the stable list -- is
this acceptable? Sometimes a patch may have to undergo multiple
revisions, meaning all the discussion emails go to the stable list
unnecessarily, and I guess this is not good?

It looks like there is no git-send-email option to exclude an email.

Thanks,
Dexuan

Yes, we have to rely on "hints" like that due to maintainers not wanting
to put any cc: stable tags for many subsystems so we have to dig them
out somehow.

Totally acceptable.

It's not a problem at all, happens all the time and in fact I like it as
it gives us a heads-up that a patch is going to be eventually merged for
us to handle.

No need to, don't worry about that at all.

We might have some cycles this week.

Thanks, Jeff. We already have Jose on our team working on the backport.
If you think you can do the backport sooner, please let us know so we can
avoid duplicate efforts. :-)

Also, the most obvious reason, it does NOT apply there!  If this needs
to go to 5.15.y and older, please send working backports of it.

I also found that we need to manually rebase the patch for 5.15.y
and older. +Jose, who will help to do the backport.
