Patch 5 of the series was picked up by the net-next tree a few weeks back and is in 6.13-rc1. Do you need anything else to pick up this single patch in the appropriate scsi tree? I'll separately pursue getting Patches 1 thru 3 of the series picked up by the Hyper-V tree. There's no interdependency between the patches in the series, so they can each go separately.

Michael, >> Current code allocates the stor_chns array with size >> num_possible_cpus(). This code assumes cpu_possible_mask is dense, >> which is not true in the general case per [1]. If cpu_possible_mask >> is sparse, the array might be indexed by a value beyond the size of >> the array. Applied to 6.14/scsi-staging, thanks!
