Hmmm, that was posted last Tuesday and received not a single reply. :-/

Hyunwoo Kim: could you please look at it, as it's a regression caused by
a commit of yours (one that would be good to solve before 6.4 is
finalized!)? And in case you are unable to do so let us know?

But FWIW:

Mauro: I wonder if this is something you or someone else has to look
into, as Hyunwoo Kim posted a few times per months to Linux lists, but
according  to a quick search on lore hasn't posted anything since ~two
months now. :-/

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
