I feel io_uring-SCM related code should be dropped entirely from the stable branches as the backports already differ greatly between versions and some parts are still kept, some have been dropped in a non-consistent order. Though this might contradict with stable kernel rules or be inappropriate for some other reason.
Looks fine to me, and I agree, it makes much more sense to drop it all from 5.10/5.15-stable as well to keep them in sync with upstream. And I think this is fine for stable, dropping code is always a good thing.
Alright, got it. So that would require dropping it from all of the supported 5.4, 6.1, 6.6, 6.7, too.
Would it be okay if I'll send this as a series?
Yeah I think so, keeping the code more in sync is always a good thing when it comes to stable. Just make sure you mark the backport commits with the appropriate upstream shas. Thanks!
I'll just do these backports myself, thanks for bringing it up.
Great, thanks!
