FWIW, might be worth to simply tell Linus about it and let him decide, that's totally fine and even documented in the old and the new docs for handling regressions[1].

I'd rather Chuck make the final call here.
Totally fine for me, I just wanted to remind folks that this option exist, as I got the impression people forget it or fear it might annoy Linux. :D
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.3+ Fixes: f5f9d4a314da ("nfsd: move reply cache initialization into nfsd startup")
Why both Fixes: and Cc: stable?
*shrug* : they mean different things. I can drop the Cc stable.
Please leave it, only a stable tag ensures backporting; a fixes tag alone is not enough. See [1] above or these recent messages from Greg:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2023061137-algorithm-almanac-1337@gregkh/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/2023060703-colony-shakily-3514@gregkh/
Chuck and I also recently requested that the stable series not pick patches automatically for fs/nfsd. This does need to be backported though, so I cc'ed stable to make that clear.
Great, many thx! Ciao, thorsten
