Hello,

This fix has been reviewed by Yazen Ghannam. The code tested with 
QEMU/KVM virtual machines on AMD platforms. The commit that is fixed 
here (7cb735d7c0cb) is present in the stable branch linux-6.19.y.

Could you please let me know if anything is missing to integrate this fix ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback,
William.
