Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking.

What is the status here? There afaics hasn't been any progress since
nearly a week.

Vinicius, do you still have this on your radar? Or was there some progress?

Or is this really related to another issue, as Jakub suspected? Then it
might be solved by the patch here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215129

Ciao, Thorsten

P.S.: As a Linux kernel regression tracker I'm getting a lot of reports
on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them. Unfortunately
therefore I sometimes will get things wrong or miss something important.
I hope that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to
tell me about it in a public reply. That's in everyone's interest, as
what I wrote above might be misleading to everyone reading this; any
suggestion I gave they thus might sent someone reading this down the
wrong rabbit hole, which none of us wants.

BTW, I have no personal interest in this issue, which is tracked using
regzbot, my Linux kernel regression tracking bot
(https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/). I'm only posting
this mail to get things rolling again and hence don't need to be CC on
all further activities wrt to this regression.
