Just wondering: what's the status here? This looks stalled.

I'm asking, as the patches in this thread are supposed to fix this
regression:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216884

Or should we try to find a different fix/workaround because the proper
solution discussed in this thread needs more time?

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
