Dear Developers,

the buildservice for openSUSE complains about not being able to build the kernel-module for 6.14
The relevant patches

https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16277/
4702930f8dd87a6cad1d59ef8c127003fded1f31  LINUX: Refactor afs_linux_dentry_revalidate() 
https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16276/1
0306f3fdac736e15620f5802bdce510d25bb2450 Linux-6.14: Handle dops.d_revalidate with parent

apply cleanly on the branch openafs-stable-1_8_x
which I use for building the rpms. Interestingly they are marked as "Cannot Merge" in gerrit.

However, using these patches the kernel-module is successfully compiled.

Is it safe to use to current openafs-stable-1_8_x plus these two patches
for latest openSUSE-Tumbleweed?

Many thanks and please advise,

Christof
