Thx to both of you for taking care of this.

Nitpicking: that patch is missing a "CC: stable@..." tag to ensure
automatic and quick backporting to 5.19.y. Or is the block layer among
the subsystems that prefer to handle such things manually?

Ohh, and a fixes tag might have been good as well; a "Link:" tag
pointing to the report, too. If either would have been there, regzbot
would have noticed Christoph's patch posting and I wouldn't have
bothered you yesterday. :-) But whatever, not that important.

#regzbot fixed-by: 4c66a326b5ab784cddd72d
