Hi Michael,

Could you queue up this patch and mark it as a fix for 7.2.1? It is a
straight-up bug fix for a 7.2 regression that's now affected several
users.

- It has two Tested-by tags on the thread.
- hpa, the maintainer of the kernel side of this, confirmed on one of
  the various tributary threads that this approach is a correct one.
- It doesn't introduce any new functionality.

For your convenience, you can grab this out of lore here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221230220725.618763-1-Jason@zx2c4.com/

Or if you want to yolo it:

  curl https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221230220725.618763-1-Jason@zx2c4.com/raw | git am -s

It's now sat silent on the mailing list for a while. So let's please get
this committed and backported so that the bug reports stop coming in.

Thanks,
Jason
