Hi,

For some reason I forgot to mark these stable, but they should go
into stable. In order of applying them, they are:

bc808bced39f4e4b626c5ea8c63d5e41fce7205a

This commit says it fixes c576666863b78 ("io_uring: optimize
submit_and_wait API") which is not in the stable tree.

ef03681ae8df770745978148a7fb84796ae99cba

This commit doesn't say so, but really it fixes 5262f567987d3
("io_uring: IORING_OP_TIMEOUT support") which is not in the stable tree.

a1f58ba46f794b1168d1107befcf3d4b9f9fd453

Same as the commit above.

Oh man, sorry about that, I always forget to check if all of them are in
5.3. I blame the fact that I backport everything to our internal tree,
which is 5.2 based. But yes, you are of course right, those three can be
dropped.

How much "secret sauce" does your internal tree have? Is it something
we can peek into to make sure we don't miss fixes?

There's no secret sauce in the internal tree, it's just that I backport
everything into the 5.2 version that is our newest. It's fully uptodate
with 5.4-rc and in some cases what's queued up for 5.5 as well. Hence I
sometimes forget to check what is applicable to 5.3-stable, since I have
it in our 5.2 tree...

The internal tree is just backports. That's how we do things.

Could you push it somewhere public? I could automate grabbing fixes off
of it.
