However, this patch has not added to v5.15.y, while there are some selftests having no execution permission, including that for DAMON. As a result, the selftests always fail unless this patch is manually applied. Could you please add this patch to v5.15.y? I confirmed this patch can cleanly cherry-picked on the latest v5.15.y. Thanks, SJ
