Consider applying patch to 6.12.y

Consider applying patch to 6.12.y

[Miguel Ojeda]

Hi Greg, Sasha,

Sending this separately in case you don't track all replies to the
`FAILED:` messages:

  https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/CANiq72nHESphKjW7uXm2D7HCNWNxmZ3nv+CSgrzEGgSKZ4_taA@mail.gmail.com/

I am not sure why the patch failed to apply -- I would like to
understand what happened there, in case I am missing something. I
suspect something odd happened, since other of those `FAILED:`
messages were strange too, i.e. most of them didn't seem to apply the
`# ...` instructions, which is why most failed.

But at least for that particular one, the patch should still be
applied and it should have been cherry-pickable as far as I can tell:

  0a9be83e57de ("rust: kbuild: pass `-Zunstable-options` for Rust 1.95.0")

So if you cannot apply it, please let me know!

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel

Hi Miguel,

It's already in the 6.12 tree. There's a quick explanation of what went wrong
with those queues (and caused the FAILED: spam) here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/aaWWE5uQqz_eG69i@laps/ .

I'll spin up -rc2 with those missing commits.

Thanks a lot!

I was just reading about it when going through my regular quick-read
of the testers' replies for the -rc releases.

Glad to know I was not going crazy with the cherry-pick yesterday and
the suspicious emails. :) Taking a quick look, I see others also
reported the strange FAILED: emails.

Cheers,
Miguel

i.e. at least I hope it helped to raise the alarm, though I guess I
should have checked first that others already complained to avoid
spamming you :)
