Please check your emails.

The bug was reported by many other people, and you got a whole thread
of from me and others about this issue long before the report from
John.

Harald reported this on Monday, and I cc'd you back then:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/245628b6-6cdb-446c-824d-442100c89da8@xxxxxxxxxxx/

and I've already applied the patch exactly *because* you didn't
respond to that much earlier thread.
