So what tree(s) does this need to be backported to? I'm confused, this is a 6.2 email thread which is long end-of-life.

That would be 5.10 from what I can tell. Other LTS kernels have working tools/testing/selftests/bpf.

I replied here because you asked for examples :)

It can be avoided by people testing and letting me know when things break :)

Fair enough. Earlier you said:

And selftests should NOT be broken on stable releases, if so, something is wrong as no other subsystem has that happen.

Why is bpf special in this regard then?
