while the new services need to invoke libkcapi in the container environment.
We have verified that the problem doesn't exist on newer kernel version. However, due to many services and the cluster running on many server machines whose host os are long-term linux distribution with linux 4.19 kernel, it will cost too much to migrate them to newer os with newer kernel version. This is why we need to fix the problem on linux 4.19.
But this is not a regression, but rather a "resolve an issue that has never worked for new hardware", right?
And for that, moving to a new kernel seems like a wise thing to do to me because we do not like backporting new features. Distro kernel are of course, free to do that if they wish.
