From the fixes tag it sounded like it was 6.1. Whatever, doesn't make a difference, because: That answer doesn't answer the question afaics, as both 6.1 and 6.4 were released in the past year -- the fix thus should not wait till the next merge window, unless it's high risk or something.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) -- Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page.
