Well, by the way, is the patch added because there are use cases for the new mount API in hostfs?

I am sorry, I don't understand the question.

Sorry for my poor expression, I just wonder why this patch should be backported to the 6.6-stable tree. :)

Ah. It was a dependency for a patch later in the series, and was documented as such with the "Stable-dep-of:" line in the commit.

thanks,
