SubjectRe: [External] [tip: sched/core] sched/psi: Fix avgs_work re-arm in psi_avgs_work()
From
Hello,

Thanks for picking this up. There is a newer version which has been acked:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221014110551.22695-1-zhouchengming@bytedance.com/

As well another PSI patch that has been acked by Johannes:

Thanks!
