Commit d9eb5a1e76f5 ("selftests/mm: build with -O2”) goes into linux-6.13 with tag v6.13.2, last week’s tag. I checked the queue-6.12 and do not see this patch yet for v6.12. I think we still need this for v6.12. About the patch, it fixes a build issue for selftest/mm, which is bacported to v6.12. Thus this patch should only be backported to v6.12.

I don't know what "this patch" is here, sorry, I have no context.

Whatever needs to be applied, yes, please resend it properly.
