Applying individual patches from mantic is not trivial, certain fixes are dependent on other patches/changes and the backport of all these changes would be really bug prone.

Therefore after a detail evaluation and testing it seems safer to backport the whole package from mantic, considering that the kernel/user-space ABI seems to be fully compatible. Moreover the version in mantic has been extensively tested already with the 6.5 kernel.

The autopkgtest can be used to smoke test the new version of openafs with the jammy user-space. Test result was positive and no regression has been found so far.

The patch reported in attach suggests to use the version of openafs from mantic and simply recompile the module with the jammy user-space.
