Did you try upstream kernels? It's already supported upstream

Sorry, my bad. (It should have occurred to me to check, but this one
popped back up on my radar when I'm trying to do several other things
at the same time).
Anyways looks like the fix specifically was
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d3c4bdcc756e60b95365c66ff58844ce75d1c8f8
?
Yes, although it has been supported for nearly two
years, but there are still many dependencies
against RHEL 9 kernel (5.14) codebase.
I think RHEL 9 is lacking of many features.
Yes, but I'll try to argue for refresh for 9.6. Thanks!
(Just tried to cherry pick that one myself, some conflicts but looks
tractable)
Actually, the PR below has been delayed for
months:
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/4123
Indeed, yes.
I deferred it because I thought back porting the idmap type changes that
came after
5.14 was more important and the above MR was conflicting with them.
That was a large change and was difficult to get merged but it's done now.
I think it's not quite easy to just cherry-pick
random commits due to twisted codebase cleanups,
rolling the codebase to upstream v6.4 is a good
choise for RHEL 9 long term maintainence.
Yes, cherry-picking commits is often hard to do and error prone.
I can't remember now how far I went with the above MR but I'll review
that when I look at getting this into RHEL for Colin.
If I need help I'll certainly reach out here, thanks very much offering
to help.
