Sorry I dropped the context:

https://lore.kernel.org/stable/tencent_C982B0201FE8F041BD5B4FC1ED7D646A740A@xxxxxx/


This patch is trying to fix the regression which Introduced by this series:

    [PATCH 6.6 046/567] ext4: get rid of ppath in ext4_ext_insert_extent()

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260323134534.939905793@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/


The series was also backported to 6.1 but reverted later.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260408010208.746177-1-sashal@xxxxxxxxxx/


So I'm confused about the next action will we accept Wang Jun's patch or 
we just revert it as 6.1 did ?
