This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

to the 5.16-stable tree which can be found at:
     http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary

The filename of the patch is:
      iommu-amd-use-put_pages_list.patch
and it can be found in the queue-5.16 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.
I would defer to Robin, but I don't think this is a good candidate for
a stable backport.  It has some dependencies, IIRC.  And it's not really
fixing a bug.
Indeed, I'd feel a bit uncomfortable about backporting this 
unnecessarily. It doesn't make much sense in isolation without the other 
patch(es) converting the rest of the IOMMU subsystem as well, but either 
way unless the whole SLAB rework needs backporting for some reason then 
it just represents risk without benefit.
Thanks,
Robin.
