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

    iommu/amd: Simplify pagetable freeing

to the 5.15-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-simplify-pagetable-freeing.patch
and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.

I don't think this one qualifies for stable - it was just a refactoring to aid future development. The "fixing" of types is merely cosmetic, and the code size benefit was just a little bonus, hardly significant.

I took it and "iommu/amd: Use put_pages_list" to avoid the conflict when
taking 6b0b2d9a6a30 ("iommu/amd: Fix I/O page table memory leak").

Let me see if I can rework it to not need the 2 prereq patches...
