> [PATCH 5.15.y] ext4: avoid infinite loops caused by residual data

Holding for now.

I had to revert the 6.1.y backport of upstream 5422fe71d26d
(c66545e83a80) on 2026-04-11 (9594622f8a39) as part of a coordinated
revert of the surrounding ppath-removal series, so the fix is no
longer present on 6.1.y. We can't queue it on 5.15.y while it's
missing from 6.1.y - if you want this on 5.15.y, please also send
a 6.1.y backport (and ideally help untangle the ppath-removal-revert
issue there) so the fix is consistent newest-first.
