This looks good to me, thanks! Although it looks like the io_uring
related changes will need to be applied by hand as they are pointing
to the old layout under fs/ as opposed to the newer layout in
io_uring/ introduced during this merge window.
Jens, did you want to take this via the io_uring tree or should I take
it via the audit tree? If the latter, an ACK would be appreciated, if
the former my ACK is below.
