Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:

I took 6.12.116 and applied the stable-queue as of commit
39e32a361d2fca269cec12e8669e2bd3b84844d9 ("drop 24 patches based on RC
review feedback"). So this dropped the build-breaking XFS patch, but
still had "smb: client: validate NT transaction response layout and
offsets".

Tested on my Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 and an arm64 virtual machine.
Working well, no regressions observed.
