I failed to apply patch in your previous reply to 1122c0c1cc or current tip
of axboe-block/for-next:
c1440ed442a58 (axboe-block/for-next) Merge branch 'for-6.11/block' into for-next

but it's ok to apply upon next:
* 0fc4bfab2cd45 (tag: next-20240625) Add linux-next specific files for 20240625

I've already started the test based on this applyment.
is the expectation that patch should not introduce performance change comparing
to 0fc4bfab2cd45?

or if this applyment is not ok, please just give me guidance. Thanks!
