It's strange that [1/3] doesn't have cc:stable, but [2/3] and [3/3] do not. What is the thinking here?
I expect we'd be OK with merging these into 5.16-rc1. This still gives another couple of months in -rc to shake out any problems. But I suspect the -stable maintainers will merge and release the patches before they are released in 5.16.
In which case an alternative would be not to mark these patches cc:stable and to somehow remember to ask the -stable maintainers to merge them after 5.16 has been on the streets for a suitable period.
Greg, thoughts?
