manually ask for a backport? Or how can we get the regression fixed in older releases?
Speak to the stable maintainers I guess, or hope their bot picks the commits up.
thanks Thorsten for the notice. These patches do lack the "Fixes:" tag, so it's possible the bots will not pick these up. I can follow up and send these to stable if this does not happen.
"Fixes:" guarantees nothing, please NEVER rely on that. As per the kernel documentation for the last 18+ years, you have to tag a commit with the "Cc: stable@..." tag to ensure that it gets picked up properly.
thanks,
