For some reason, LTS only merged a subset of my patchset, causing
some commits to lack their prerequisite patches. This leads to error
numbers being interpreted as valid pointers.

For details, see the fix patchset that Erkun submitted to 6.6.y
(it fell through the cracks for some reason):

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260421113416.4040274-1-yangerkun@xxxxxxxxxx/

Either applying this fix patchset or reverting the incorrectly merged
commit should resolve the issue.


Thanks,
