We can see the following messages with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y on
LoongArch:
BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.
This is because stack_trace_save() returns a big value after call
arch_stack_walk(), here is the call trace:
save_trace()
stack_trace_save()
arch_stack_walk()
stack_trace_consume_entry()
arch_stack_walk() should return immediately if unwind_next_frame()
failed, no need to do the useless loops to increase the value of
c->len in stack_trace_consume_entry(), then we can fix the above
problem.

The fix makes sense, but I'm asking the same question again (sorry if
it's noisy): should we Cc [email protected] and/or make a PR for
6.3?
To me a bug fixes should be backported into all stable branches affected
by the bug, unless there is some serious difficulty. As 6.3 release
will work on launched 3A5000 boards out-of-box, people may want to stop
staying on the leading edge and use a LTS/stable release series. We
can't just say (or behave like) "we don't backport, please use latest
mainline" IMO :).

It is a bug fix, isn't it ? It should be backported to v6.1+. Otherwise,
if your policy is to not backport bug fixes, I might as well stop testing
loongarch on all but the most recent kernel branch. Let me know if this is
what you want. If so, I think you should let all other regression testers
know that they should only test loongarch on mainline and possibly on
linux-next.

This is of course a bug fix, but should Tiezhu resend this patch? Or
just replying to this message with CC [email protected] is
enough?

Normally the maintainer, before sending a pull request to Linus, would add
"Cc: [email protected]" to the patch. Actually sending the patch to
the stable@ mailing list is only necessary if it was applied to the
upstream kernel without Cc: stable@ in the commit message.
Guenter
OK, thanks.
