Thank you for handling this! The link above mentions that it was already
backported to 5.4 and indeed I see at least d47151b79e322 ("nfs: expose
/proc/net/sunrpc/nfs in net namespaces") is backported in 5.4, 5.10, 5.15, 6.1.
And you're now preparing 6.6. Thus we can expect the behavior changed from
5.4 kernels.

I wonder if we consider this as a fix, thus expect any kernel newer than 5.4
should backport all these 12 patches.

Or, whether we should relax and just check if version is higher than the one
which got it in stable/LTS (e.g. >= 5.4.276 || >= 5.10.217 ...). The question is
also if enterprise distros will take this patchset.

BTW We have in LTP functionality which points as a hint to kernel fixes. But
it's usually a single commit. I might need to list all.

Kind regards,
Petr
