I picked up the series from the list and folded the fixups you posted
here into the respective fs conversion patches. I hope that helps you
avoid a resend. You should have received a separate "thank you" mail for
all of this.

To each patch that I folded one of the fixlets from below into I added a
git note that records a link to your mail here and the respective patch
hunk from this mail that I folded into the patch. git.kernel.org will
show notes by default. For example,
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs.git/commit/?h=vfs.ctime&id=8b0e3c2e99004609a16ba145bcbdfdddb78e220e
should show you the note I added. You can also fetch them via
git fetch $remote refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*
(You probably know that ofc but jic.) if you're interested.

Based on v6.5-rc1 as of today.

Btw, both b4 and patchwork somehow treat the series in weird was.
IOW, based on the message id of the cover letter I was able to pull most
messages except for:

[07/92] fs: add ctime accessors infrastructure
[08/92] fs: new helper: simple_rename_timestamp
[92/92] fs: rename i_ctime field to __i_ctime

which I pulled in separately. Not sure what the cause of this is.
