Hello,
I noticed yesterday that LTP test preadv03 now fails since 6.1.64 (it
also fails on 6.1.65).
6.6.4, 6.6.3, 6.5.0 and 6.2.0 seem to be unaffected.
I tested this on x86_64 and kvx arch (the latter is not upstream).
I can see some ext4 related commits on 6.1.64 and 6.1.65 changes, maybe
it's related, therefore I add ext4 mailing list as CC.
I didn't run git bisect on this so far because I noticed building an
x86_64 ubuntu kernel on my laptop was taking ages. Maybe someone is more
used to dealing with this and can bisect this way faster than me.
How to reproduce:
```
git clone https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp.git
cd ltp && make autotools && ./configure
make -j4
cd testcases/kernel/syscalls/preadv
sudo ./preadv03
```
On 6.1.64 x86_64 kernel for instance it gives:
