Ah, that sounds very related.

Agreed.
I sent out v2 here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20211005011340.2826268-1-dlatypov@google.com

Based on this, we could probably drop it for the QEMU code path, but
I'll leave stdin untouched for both in the patch for consistency.

We can followup later and
* drop it from QEMU + add a comment/TODO on UML
* or just revist if/when we've found a fix and drop it from both.
