Bug#1060280: linux-image-4.19.0-25-cloud-amd64: PCI ATS quirk patch needed for IDPF
Package: src:linux
Version: 4.19.289-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Intel has introduced a new network card. They have submitted the driver
to the upstream kernel. We don't know if it's reasonable to ask that
this driver be backported to Debian, or to older versions of Debian, but
in order to use an out-of-tree driver on older versions, a PCI ATS
quirks patch is needed for some early versions of the hardware. Thus
we're asking if it's possible to backport that quirks patch to older
versions of Debian, so that users can use the out-of-tree driver.
The patch was released in Linux 6.7:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.7&id=a18615b1cfc04f00548c60eb9a77e0ce56e848fd
It's been backported to 5.15 in the LTS kernels, but customers may need
it in older kernels for Debian.
