It's
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cifs/afbccb0c466888faa0e4753094e8ba09ed16dc51.camel@amazon.com/
But I fear that will be lost due to missing CC's to others. So have
just replied with regressions list as wel in
https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/ZZhrpNJ3zxMR8wcU@eldamar.lan/
As this does not happen with upper stable series, I guess some
requisite commit is missing.
The mentioned commit from 6.7-rc5 was backported to 6.6.7 and 6.1.68,
but it does not happen in current 6.6.9-1 as in unstable.
