Dear stable maintainers,

The patch "kfence: use TASK_IDLE when awaiting allocation" has landed in mainline as 8fd0e995cc7b, however, does not apply cleanly to 5.12.y due to a prerequisite patch missing.

My recommendation is to cherry-pick the following 2 commits to 5.12.y (rather than rebase 8fd0e995cc7b on top of 5.12.y):

37c9284f6932 kfence: maximize allocation wait timeout duration 8fd0e995cc7b kfence: use TASK_IDLE when awaiting allocation

Thanks, that worked!
