I was on the fence myself and I juggled the commit between vfs.fixes and vfs-6.17.misc because I wasn't sure whether we should consider such priority inversion fix something that's urgent or not. I tried to communicate to Linus that I was uncertain about this particular patch at the beginning of https://lore.kernel.org/20250704-vfs-fixes-fa31f5ff8c05@brauner But I should've called it earlier. Linus, thanks for reverting this! I had a revert ready as announced on Friday for today but it's good that this got kicked out already. My lesson from this is that touching epoll without a really really good and urgent reason always end up a complete mess. So going forward we'll just be very careful here.
