Thanks for your tips. Greg Kroah-Hartman backported the patch into Linux 5.10.166 [1]. Therefore it will hopefully land in the next Debian stable point release when it will be released. I would like to thank Salvatore Bonaccorso who helped me to explain Greg the request for backporting the patch: --- [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v5.10.166&id=8fe3e574b3ac426ff4a11299f098e1c91538f3e5

Request to cherry picking a patch to fix bug #989705 for kernels 5.10.y
Hello, The bug #989705 [1] is currently closed. It was solved for kernels version 5.15+ using the patch [2] from upstream. This patch [2] applies to kernel version 5.10.y, too. I used it with a custom built kernel since it was published . The author of the patch acknowledged that the patch applies to kernel version 5.10.y asking me to send it out to the stable mailing list. I did it, but I did not receive an answer. I tried to peek upstream, but again no answer. Therefore, I'm sending this post to ask the debian-kernel mailing list if it is possibile to cherry pick the patch [1] to make it land in the next release of Debian Kernel 5.10.y. Let me know if I can help in any way. I cannot update bug #989705 because it is currently closed. Thanks in advance for your attention. --- [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=989705 [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.0-rc5&id=6b04ce966a738ecdd9294c9593e48513c0dc90aa
