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.

Paul, v1 and v2 has the identical diff.  Only difference is the added
Fixes: tag.

I don't think you can do anything further with regard to the v2 patch.

Ah, good point, thank you.

							Thanx, Paul

        Thanks, Akira

Seem reasonable?
