Right.  It doesn't apply at all unfortunately.

I think the dependency list is too big.

Too much has changed that was never back-ported.

Actually the list of patches pertaining to fs/io-wq.c alone isn't so
bad, I did start to back-port them all but some of the big ones have
fs/io_uring.c changes incorporated and that list is huge (256 patches
from v5.10 to the fixing patch mentioned above).
