BTW, Phillip, sorry for specifying the wrong culprit in an earlier mail.

FWIW, that's afaics not needed (and actually slightly confusing I'd
say). That is only important when the problem was introduced in a stable
release to make the stable team aware of it, as then they might be
willing to revert the culprit if the problem is not present in mainline.

But this problem was introduced in the 6.0 mainline cycle and thus needs
to be fixed there first.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.

P.P.S.:
