Request to cherry-pick commit fixing RMB issue for Non-Removable Media in Linux Kernel 6.10-rc4
Hi all, as of linux v6.9.*, a regression has been introduced where the removable media bit (RMB) was set for all devices that are hot-pluggable. The bit does not accurately indicate that a device is removable. Therefore, this issue has been addressed and fixed in commit `a6a75e`[0] which was merged under the tag 6.10-rc4[1]. Is it possible to cherry-pick `a6a75e` and release an update prior to the full 6.10 release? Thank you for your consideration. Best regards J. Gerhards [0] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/171856227442.1143.13572753599648338171.pr-tracke...

This means that this is probably already a candidate for inclusion in the stable trees and will most likely be picked up with 6.9.6 (next week), as the commit has a "CC: stable@vger.kernel.org", a "Fixes:" tag and is included in mainline. If this does not happen, we can still poke the stable team, but usually they do an awesome job with stuff like this! If you want to have this included earlier in the Arch Linux' patchset feel free to open a ticket with the linux package, but IMO the issue can wait a week, as its not a crash but only annoying (if I undstand correctly).
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards

Have a great week! chris

Yeah, when the patch gets included next week anyway, it is not really worth it to do an extra release just for this. In terms of it just being annoying, I also saw an issue on the forums[0]where items would get automounted because of the bug, but it's not something that would disrupt your system.

Seems like the patch got included: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree... If you want you can test the release candidate: sudo pacman -U https://pkgbuild.com/\~gromit/linux-bisection-kernels/linux-6.9.6rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst Cheers, chris

But I was able to build the kernel myself using the patch series from kernel.org. Everything works as expected, hopefully it can be released soon, when it's fully ready.
