Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.

Peter, Jarkko, did you look at this patch or even applied it already to
send it to Linus soon? Doesn't look like it from here, but maybe I
missed something.

Thing is: the linked regression afaics is overdue fixing (for details
see "Prioritize work on fixing regressions" in
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/handling-regressions.html
). Hence if this doesn't make any progress I'll likely have to point
Linus to this patch and suggest to apply it directly if it looks okay
from his perspective.

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.
