5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9a71892cbcdb9d1459c84f5a4c722b14354158a5 upstream. This reverts commit 15fffc6a5624b13b428bb1c6e9088e32a55eb82c. This commit causes a regression, so revert it for now until it can come back in a way that works for everyone.
