Yeah, I pointed this out on the mailing list when when microsoft was trying to upstream their dxgkrnl driver: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CADvTj4q_-A9p2UkH975SPPYmSzVAv38...

As have others: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

Looks like the up-streaming has been abandoned as Microsoft has not made a real effort to fix the issues pointed out: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

It was their second attempt, the first one was in 2020 https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/19/742 and was also turned away.
