Thanks for looking into this!

Patch 1-3 look good to me. But since we need to back port these fixes
to 6.7 kernels, let's make it very clear what issues are being fixed.
Please:
1. Test on both Linus' master branch and 6.7.y, and explain which tests
are failing before the fixes. (From my tests, the two branches don't have
the same test results). We can put these results in the cover letter and
include them in a merge commit.
2. If possible, add Fixes tag to all patches.
3. Add more details in the commit log, so it is clear what is being fixed.
4. Add "reported-by" and maybe also "closes" tag.

For patch 4-5, especially 5, I wonder whether the same issue also
happens with md. We can probably ship 4-5 now, with the same
improvements as patch 1-3.

I will run more tests on my side.

Mykulas, please also review and test these patches.

Thanks,
Song
