I tested 6.18.60 + stable-queue as of commit
aa65920a134b0366b65f438be80335f2060ed664 ("fuzz cleanup"). This is
after the broken xfs patch was reverted, but before the tun patch
was added to the queue.

Tested on an amd64 laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1) and an arm64
virtual machine. Working well, no regressions observed.
