Hi,
I prepared this series about 6 months ago, but never got around to sending it in. In mainline, we got rid of remap_pfn_range() on the io_uring side, and this just backports it to 6.6-stable as well. This eliminates issues with fragmented memory, and hence it'd be nice to have it in 6.6 stable as well. 6.6-stable also has mmap support for provided ring buffers, and since we've had an issue related to remap_pfn_range() there, let's bring it to 6.6 stable as well as a precaution.
