WTF: patch "[PATCH] selftests/landlock: Make tests build with old libc" was seriously submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree?

[gregkh]

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

Replace SYS_<syscall> with __NR_<syscall>.  Using the __NR_<syscall>
notation, provided by UAPI, is useful to build tests on systems without
the SYS_<syscall> definitions.

Replace SYS_pivot_root with __NR_pivot_root, and SYS_move_mount with
__NR_move_mount.

Define renameat2() and RENAME_EXCHANGE if they are unknown to old build
systems.
