Just "the usual", which is not widely known, so allow me to explain. Please in situations like this *always* try to test a recent mainline kernel. Given the timing, it's best to test 6.12-rc1 once it out later today. That's because it's unclear if this is something the regular maintainers or the stable team/the one that asked for the backport has to handle. Some developers do not care, but often it's required, as otherwise nobody will take a close look -- especially when it comes to longterm kernels. That's because participation in stable/longterm maintenance is entirely optional for mainline developers (e.g. the author of the culprit). This page https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/post/frequent-reasons-why-linux-kernel-bug-reports-are-ignored/ has a few points that explain the problem in more detail. HTH, Ciao, Thorsten
