Up until 6.12 this bug seemed much harder to hit, and as far as I'm aware we've never had a bug report for it prior to this. I am confident in the patch for 6.12 as all of the (_numerous_) maple tree userland tests pass and the kernel is stable with it, but as this is a such a subtle algorithmic change I think we should be cautious. As soon as things settle down I will ping stable to get it backported. Thanks!
