Greg,
If its not too late it would be best not to backport this change to 6.7, 6.6, 6.1, 5.15, 5.10, and 5.4.
This commit is already in the following releases: 5.4.269 5.10.210 5.15.149 6.1.76 6.6.15 6.7.3 6.8-rc2
This change can result in an infinite loop in directory parsing and the fix for that has yet to be merged by Linus.
Is it in linux-next with a stable git id?
The commit is on linux-next as
5f7a07646655fb4108da527565dcdc80124b14c4 ("afs: Fix endless loop in directory parsing")
And it's in -rc7 so all is good as it's already part of our patch queue for the next round of releases.
thanks,
greg k-h
