That's what I thought, but thought to better ask...

It's the parent of this thread (Message ID 
<20230701023524.7434-1-schmitzmic@gmail.com>) but I'd botched up the 
Fixes: tag; might also need to reword the commit message to clearly 
explain the ramifications of commit b6f3f28f60 as regards partitions at 
the end of the disk that were subject to size overflow and truncation in 
previous kernels.

I'll send v2 of the bugfix shortly, OK?
