Thank you for this notification (and all the other ones and the
backports linked to this series)! And sorry for all these conflicts :)
We don't need to backport this commit cdb50525345c ("selftests: mptcp:
join: helpers to skip tests"): it depends on a feature introduced in
commit c7d49c033de0 ("selftests: mptcp: join: alt. to exec specific
tests") and we don't want to backport this. Also, this fix here is
mainly useful for the last stable version: I guess people will likely
not take the selftests version from v5.15.y and run them on older
kernels. They will more likely take the selftests from the last stable
version (or the same version as the kernel one).
So no need to do anything here.
Cheers,
Matt
