hello, as far as I can tell this patch has not made it to the 6.1 stable tree yet in the 6.1.148 review yet: https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg866199.html
Please use lore.kernel.org links.
As this seems to be causing issues in distributions releasing 6.1.147 can this still be added to the next possible stable release?

What is the git commit id of this patch in Linus's tree?
thanks,
