Done.
That said, I would have liked a "Fixes:" tag, or some indication of how far back the stable people should take this..
Ugh, I missed to add that. From a pure upstream stable perspective the only relevant and still supported kernel that should get this fix is 5.15.
I can make it a custom to mark all patches that should go to stable with the first kernel version where a given fix should be applied. In this case this whould've meant I'd given it:
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.12+
For upstream stable maintainers it should be clear that since the only supported stable version within the range is v5.15. For downstream users/distros it should help to identify whether they still run/maintain a kernel that falls within the range of kernels that would technically be eligible for this fix.
I haven't seen whether we prefer the Cc: with # v*.**+ syntax to a simple Cc: without it nowadays.
I assume it's 9caccd41541a ("fs: introduce MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP"), and
Yes, that's correct. Thanks!
that's what I added manually to it as I applied it, but relying on me noticing and getting things right can be a risky business..
Noted. :)
