Eric, this patch was picked for v5.15 stable and I wonder whether this
needs to be backported to older branches too. The Fixes commit quoted
here seems to go back all the way to v3.5. Would you know?

I guess nobody cared to address some merge conflicts on older kernel versions.

If you want, you could handle the backport, this patch can help some
rare race windows
on preemptable kernels.

Sounds good, I'll have a look at backporting this patch.
