You are correct that this patch which resolves the regression does not apply directly to 5.4/5.10/5.17 stable trees. I'm looking over https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/stable-kernel-rules.html and I'm not clear what I need to put in the commit to make it clear that it only applies to those specific trees. Do I simply adjust the 'Fixes' tag to address the commit from that specific stable branch and send one for each stable branch (thus each would have a different sha in the Fixes tag) while also adding the 'commit <sha> upstream' to the top? Best Regards. Tim
