This seems fair. From what I can tell this spans all LTS kernels so I expect
a couple of different variants of this fix since this code has evolved quite a lot.
Do you want this fix backported to all the LTS kernels?
It may be useful to add a note to the stable team that this patch needs changes to
apply to all kernel versions (see "Point out known problems"
in Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst)

Thank you very much.
