    I said "do not backport". I specifically asked not to backport
    this patch. It does not include Cc: stable, and it does not
    include a Fixes: tag. I even said "... may have adverse affect
    if applied to older kernels".

    I have no idea how that can be interpreted as "backport to 5.18".
    Did I miss the explicit "do not backport to 5.18 ?" If so, my bad.

    Ok, here it is a more explicit request:

    Do not backport this patch to 5.18.y, 5.17.y, 5.15.y, 5.10.y, 5.4.y,
    4.19.y, 4.14.y, 4.9.y, or any other stable release.

    Guenter
