I would like the stable trees to include commit 1ee326196c66 
("locking/rwsem: Always try to wake waiters in out_nolock path") after 
it is merged into the mainline in the v5.19 merge window. It should be 
applied to the stable trees that have incorporated the backport of 
commit d257cc8cb8d5 ("locking/rwsem: Make handoff bit handling more 
consistent") since this commit seems to make the missed wakeup problem 
easier to show up.

Cheers,
