Can you reproduce this with current kernels?  That's not even an up to
date v6.5 - we're up to v6.5.13 now from the looks of things including
one upstream fix that looks potentially relevant.  The most direct thing
would be to write a kunit test demonstrating the issue with current
mainline.

If things are already fine with mainline then you'd need to talk to the
stable maintainers about what they've chosen to backport.
