I can help with that ;)

The four Fixes: targets are problematic.  How are backporters to figure
out what kernel version(s) need the patch?

I guess these things crept in over time and a four-patch series would be
too elaborate.

I'll just queue it for 7.3-rcX and will let others figure out the
fallout.

The underlying code has changed somewhat, but the fixups were simple.

Subject: selftests/filesystems: fix missing and stale TARGETS entries
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 20:37:42 +0530

filesystems/eventfd, filesystems/open_tree_ns and filesystems/xattr were
never added to TARGETS when introduced.  filesystems/openat2 was moved
from selftests/openat2/ but the TARGETS entry was never updated, leaving a
stale entry pointing at a directory that no longer exists.

Fix this by adding the four missing subdirectories to TARGETS and
removing the stale openat2 entry.

Fixes: 7c37857fc23a ("selftests: add eventfd selftests")
Fixes: b8f7622aa6e3 ("selftests/open_tree: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE tests")
Fixes: 7e28fef5d4db ("selftests/xattr: path-based AF_UNIX socket xattr tests")
Fixes: fe087927046c ("selftests: move openat2 tests to selftests/filesystems/")
