The patch below does not apply to the 5.16-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.

Wait, this patch was not intended for submission into stable yet, at least not in this form. Why did it end up in the stable queue?
Because it was marked with a "Fixes:" tag and I reviewed it and it looked like it actually fixed an issue.
Is this not the case?
Yes, that's correct. But I'm afraid that this patch will cause regressions on some systems. (Mr Alexandre Belloni said something similar of my series). So I'd like to wait till at least Linux 5.17 (final) is released to see if it causes any trouble.
Well, it will be in 5.17, any regression it causes will have to be fixed and we can then backport the fix.
