What's the status here given that 7.3 will likely be released in a few days? Note, I can see from the discussion that this is a complex problem that can't be quickly solved. That's how it is sometimes. But I wonder if the current state of things is the best compromise for now or if Rob's revert or some other option would be better.

I think reverting my commit 143755bdabaa ("dma-buf: Make DMABUF_DEBUG default to y on DEBUG_KERNEL kernels") is the best interim solution for v7.3.

Christian, Sumit, could one of you apply Jianfeng's revert before the final release?

Ok, I'll try and revert it for 7.3. We may need to reapply it for the next cycle along with the solution Rob and folks are working on.

Thanks,

Karl

Best, Sumit.
