Hello,

I applied the 0001-smb3-do-not-start-laundromat-thread-when-dir-leases-.patch
you provided against the 6.5.3 kernel.

I can confirm that it resolves this issue - no laundromat threads are
created, and the reported load average is as expected, not falsely
high.

This appears to fully fix the issue in my case. Thank you very much!
