Hi Salvatore and Santiago,

Thanks for testing this out.

@Greg Kroah-Hartman: The reverted patch used in combination with Paulo's fix seems to fix both use cases. Can we have both these taken in on stable kernels? Paulo's patch is needed only for kernels 5.10 and older.

I do not know what "both" is here at all.

Please resubmit all of the needed commits in a format that I can apply them in, and I will be glad to review them and queue them up.

Note, patches that are not in Linus's tree better be documented really really really really well for why that is not so...

thanks,

greg k-h
