If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.No, please, for both this patch and the backport of 3a0fff0fb6a3. This is flawed for multiple reasons: - you're missing f199bf5bf84c, without which you will actively break other platforms - we have some other fixes pending for the exact same feature, see 20231030083256.4345-1-fangxiang3@xxxxxxxxxx - this is a *new* feature that has no purpose being backported unless someone screams for it. And even then, only when we're confident that we have the right set of fixes. Until then, I'm opposed to these patches being backported anywhere.
I'll drop it, thanks! -- Thanks, Sasha
