Subject: Missing patches of a patch series during AUTOSEL backport
Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2023 13:02:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aa7145b39b72237a7cfd9ab8ba92ad26271f4881.camel@duagon.com> (raw)

Dear Sasha Levin,

I am the author of a patch series and I am writting you because I have
detected an issue with a patch series I have submitted in May'23.

I sent a series of 3 patches to the maintainer. When he approved them,
he sent an email to Greg, requesting him to include such
patch series in kernel 6.4.

You can check the email thread here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230411083329.4506-1-jth@kernel.org/

For a reason I cannot understand, the AUTOSEL only chose 1 of 3 patches
of the series, so only 1 was backported to stable kernel versions.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.3 24/24] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid
memory overlapping
[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.2 20/20] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid
memory overlapping
[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 19/19] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid
memory overlapping
[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 10/10] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid
memory overlapping
[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 9/9] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid
memory overlapping
[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 9/9] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid
memory overlapping
[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 9/9] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid
memory overlapping
[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 8/8] mcb-pci: Reallocate memory region to avoid
memory overlapping

In kernel 6.4 and above, the 3 patches were included.

Including only 1 patch is causing crashes in part of our devices.

Please, could you backport the remaining 2 patches to the stable
versions?

Thank you so much.

Best Regards,
