Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] intel_th: avoid using deprecated page->mapping, index
 fields

Hi Alexander,

I pinged earlier as this wasn't in -next, but got no response again, and
not seeing it in Linus's tree yet, can you please confirm that this change
is going to land in 6.15 given we have a week of merge window left?

We are going to remove these struct page fields so this is an urgent change
that needs to go in.

Andy - could you ping Alexander internally again, as that seemed to help
last time?

Thanks, Lorenzo
