Hello,
Could somebody please have a look to this request? As I mentioned in my last mail the config option BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD isn't default y in 5.15.179+. This deviates from all other versions (6.1.y, 6.6.y, 6.12.y and mainline).
Please merge 451f0b6f4c44d7b649ae609157b114b71f6d7875 (block: default BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD to y) to 5.15.y.
Best regards. Sebastian

Hello,
we're facing a regression after updating to 5.15.179+. I've found that fbdee71bb5d8d054e1bdb5af4c540f2cb86fe296 (block: deprecate autoloading based on dev_t) was merged that disabled autoloading of modules.
This broke mounting loopback devices on our side.
Why wasn't 451f0b6f4c44d7b649ae609157b114b71f6d7875 (block: default BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD to y) merged, too?
This commit was merged for 6.1.y, 6.6.y and 6.12y, but not for 5.15.y.
Please consider merging this for 5.15.y soon.
Thanks. Sebastian
