Not my area of expertise, but I guess it's fixed by this patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221230200747.19040-1-nbd@xxxxxxxx/

Earlier reports:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216839
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216844

Hopefully everyone is back from vacation tomorrow so that we can finally
get this fixed in mainline soon.
