Re: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.18 074/159] scsi: target: tcmu: Fix possible data corruption

Sasha,

the below patch introduces a new bug, which is fixed by commit
325d5c5fb216 ("scsi: target: tcmu: Avoid holding XArray lock when calling lock_page")
Please consider adding this further fix.

For my understanding: commit 325d5c5fb216 contains a "Fixes:"
tag. So I'd expect it to be added automatically.
Is there still something missing in the commit?

Thank you,
Bodo
