Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking.
CCing Dave and Daniel.

Thanks.
Please also add a cc for linux-stable, so that this is fixed in 5.15.x
Sure, but I still need some acked-by or rb from one of the Nouveau guys.
So gentle ping on that.
Acked-by: Ben Skeggs <bske...@redhat.com>
What's the status of this patch? I checked a few git trees, but either
it's not there or it missed it.
You missed it. I've pushed it to drm-misc-fixes about 2 hours ago:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc/log/?h=drm-misc-fixes
Regards,
Christian.
Reminder, it's a regression already introduced in v5.15, hence all users
of the current stable kernel are affected by it, so it would be nice to
get the fix on its way now that Ben acked it and Dan tested it.
Ciao, Thorsten
P.S.: As a Linux kernel regression tracker I'm getting a lot of reports
on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them. Unfortunately
therefore I sometimes will get things wrong or miss something important.
I hope that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to
tell me about it in a public reply. That's in everyone's interest, as
what I wrote above might be misleading to everyone reading this; any
suggestion I gave thus might sent someone reading this down the wrong
rabbit hole, which none of us wants.
BTW, I have no personal interest in this issue, which is tracked using
regzbot, my Linux kernel regression tracking bot
(https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/). I'm only posting
this mail to get things rolling again and hence don't need to be CC on
all further activities wrt to this regression.
