I suggest that you consider backporting only the parts of 7c98f7cb8fda that open code call_{read,write}_iter() in call sites (some or all), if you need those as dependencies but actually leave the wrappers in the stable tree. If the bots selected 7c98f7cb8fda to stable because of the Fixes: tag, then I think that Fixes: tag was misleading the stable bots in this case.
