@Lee,

Could you try upstream kernel v6.10?
If is reproduced on v6.10, we should file an upstream bug instead.

[xiaochun Lee (xavier-lee)]

Yes, we'll do it!

[xiaochun Lee (xavier-lee)]

Errors still exist with 6.10 kernel

@xavier

Please file an upstream bug and post here.

Thanks

Hi
A new bug was filed in upstream kernel bug at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219128

@AaronMa
Through the upstream maintainer's comments at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219128, all that error messages seems are normal behavior, is my understanding right? Would you please have a conclusion on this bug so that we can depend on Ubuntu's claim to handle our own internal bugs.
