Unfortunately the VFS folks did not send that patch up for v6.16-rc2
as originally planned, but it was sent out and merged into Linus' tree
today.  Considering the importance of the patch for testing/CI, and
the desire to delay a of rebase the LSM and SELinux trees to
v6.16-rc3, I've rebased both trees to commit fe78e02600f8 ("Merge tag
'vfs-6.16-rc3.fixes' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs"), which is two
commits past the v6.16-rc2 tag and contains the xattr patch mentioned
last week.

Unfortunately, this does mean that the lsm/dev and selinux/dev
branches are not based on a v6.16-rcX tag, but with everything
considered, I believe the exception made sense.  If anyone has any
concerns or questions, let me know.
