I tested this patch in combination with the related SCSI driver patch. The tests were done on x86 with both VM generations provided by Hyper-v. Lockdep was enabled and there were no splat reports within 24 hours of massive load produced by stress-ng. With that: Reviewed-by: Florian Bezdeka <[email protected]> Tested-by: Florian Bezdeka <[email protected]> Side note: We did some backports down to 6.1 already, just in case someone is interested. We recognized a massive network performance drop in 6.1. The root cause has been identified and is not related to this patch. It's simply another RT regression caused by a missing stable-rt backport. Upstreaming in progress... Best regards, Florian
