Oh.  I posted patches to fix this back in 2018.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180414043145.3953-6-willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

and 2019.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190501202433.GC28500@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

and 2020.

Looks like it's about that time of year for me to try to fix this again.
