Greg,

If its not too late it would be best not to backport this change to 6.7, 6.6, 6.1, 5.15, 5.10, and 5.4.

This commit is already in the following releases: 5.4.269 5.10.210 5.15.149 6.1.76 6.6.15 6.7.3 6.8-rc2

This change can result in an infinite loop in directory parsing and the fix for that has yet to be merged by Linus.

Is it in linux-next with a stable git id?

If not, we can revert it, just let us know.

thanks,
