Hey Andrew,
Sorry, I picked up that patch because it deals with a vfs only feature
we maintain. It has no implications for mm and just deals with per-mount
file ownership changes (Detailed documentation under
Documentation/filesystems/idmappings.rst. It needs updates as of v6.3
but is correct otherwise.). While Hugh was Cced I didn't pay more
attention to what lists were Cced. Sorry about that. But again, it
really has no consequences for mm otherwise I'd never have taken it.
Re Link: Patches I pick up don't have Link [1] tags pointing to the
submission on lore as Linus had said in a discussion in 2022 that he
prefers to not have the lore links in the commit message at all.
