Maybe we could use the v1 version which does not include the linux-6.13.y tag.

Commit d9eb5a1e76f5 ("selftests/mm: build with -O2”) goes into linux-6.13 with tag v6.13.2, last week’s tag. I checked the queue-6.12 and do not see this patch yet for v6.12. I think we still need this for v6.12. About the patch, it fixes a build issue for selftest/mm, which is bacported to v6.12. Thus this patch should only be backported to v6.12. I tested it on my device and it works fine and solved the failure of selftest. Thank you Yifei > > thanks, > > greg k-h
