Hmm, your email address is on the CC list...
My approach would be simply to take Mauro's patch into the -rcu dev
branch.  If it affected kernel function in a bad way, I would submit it
into v5.13, but as it is, I would just run it through my normal process.
This would likely get it into v5.14.

Seem reasonable?

							Thanx, Paul
        Thanks, Akira
