WTF: patch "[PATCH] landlock: Change landlock_add_rule(2) argument check ordering" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree?

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to 
<stable@vger.kernel.org> and let me know why this patch should be
applied.  Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.

thanks,

greg k-h

MIME-Version: 1.0

This makes more sense to first check the ruleset FD and then the rule
attribute.  It will be useful to factor out code for other rule types.

Add inval_add_rule_arguments tests, extension of empty_path_beneath_attr
tests, to also check error ordering for landlock_add_rule(2).
