Hi Sasha,
If this, the fix : ef9ca17ca458 ("hostfs: fix the host directory parse when mounting.") also should be added. It fixes the mounting bug when pass the host directory.
Thanks, Hongbo
The filename of the patch is: hostfs-convert-hostfs-to-use-the-new-mount-api.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
commit 6f2433956e6ade80d59bd673d4062ec2c1bacc3e Author: Hongbo Li lihongbo22@huawei.com Date: Thu May 30 20:01:11 2024 +0800
hostfs: convert hostfs to use the new mount API [ Upstream commit cd140ce9f611a5e9d2a5989a282b75e55c71dab3 ] Convert the hostfs filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old one will be obsoleted and removed. This allows greater flexibility in communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the filesystem. See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

I've swept the queues and have added the "fixes for the fixes" commits like this one now, thanks!

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

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,
