No problem. I promised a stable branch so you'll get one. :)

So I rebased vfs.file onto the previous patches and pushed it out.
Note that I've merged an additional series into vfs.file but that should
not matter to you as long as you keep using our shared base.

Note, I also pulled

git pull -S slab slab/for-6.12/kmem_cache_args

into vfs.file.slab for a test and that works fine so commit ids should
be back to their previous state. But please do double-check.
