Yeah, in retrospect, these 2 patches should really have been squashed together.
Sorry about that. Note that none of these were marked for stable though. I think
that Sasha's bot picked-up automatically
17b49bcbf8351d3dbe57204468ac34f033ed60bc for stable because of the "Fix" in the
commit title. But c749301ebee82eb5e97dec14b6ab31a4aabe37a6 also has "Fix" in its
title but was not picked-up. Weird.
Greg, Martin,
To fix this, c749301ebee82eb5e97dec14b6ab31a4aabe37a6 is needed in stable !
Reference: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215137
Thanks.
