I don't think kernel changes are necessary or desirable at this point.
The glibc change went into glibc 2.42 only, and at this point in time,
all distributions shipping 2.42 (few of them do) are pretty much
guaranteed to pick up fixes from the 2.42 stable release branch
regularly.  So if we get this into glibc 2.43 and backport it to 2.42,
the problem should disappear quite soon from a developer's perspective.

Thanks,
