commit 2347961b11d4079deace3c81dceed460c08a8fc1
I would like to propose this commit from 5.12 for stable, or rather, ask whether it’s a candidate and leave the exact picking/backporting to the experts (if it has other commits as prerequisites and/or later fixups).
This is because qemu-user needs it, and it arrived just too late for the current Debian LTS kernel (5.10), and qemu-user in Debian until yesterday had a workaround, but now doesn’t because it’s in the stable kernel (6.1), so qemu-user-static cannot be just used as-is on Debian LTS any more.
I’d like it to be applied to 5.10 (obviously), but perhaps others would appreciate more broad coverage.
Thanks in advance, //mirabilos

As this is a debian feature being backported, why not just add it to the debian 5.10 kernel?
But, as it is a bugfix, I'll go queue it up now, thanks.

The maintainers prefer to upstream as much stuff as possible, and it’s really a qemu-user feature, so it’s also helpful to users of other distros.
But, as it is a bugfix, I'll go queue it up now, thanks.
Thank you!
