Hello Greg,
thank you for your reply.

AFAIK the relevant patches for this series are commits 
80887f31..ee4cdf7b, although the last patch containing the fix does not 
apply cleanly on the current 6.11.y branch.

Please note, I am not very familiar with the code so unsure if all of 
the patches in the series are required for the fix. Maybe David Howells 
as author of the series can provide some more insights?

The patch series introducing the fix is 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240814203850.2240469-1-dhowells@redhat.com/

Please let me know how to proceed, thanks!

Best regards,
Christian Ebner
