I'm sorry to interject here, but the issue was reported on the Kernel.org Bugzilla on February 2nd - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202497 In the interest of better communication, if the need arises again, how should bugs in the RC kernels be reported so they (1) are spotted by the right maintainers and (2) not backported even though they were reported as causing breaking changes?
Sadly our bugzilla is rarely used, even though the information in that particular bug report is perfect. Maybe pinging LKML and stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx would be enough, specially if you know that it's a stable commit that caused the regression. -- Thanks, Sasha
