Thanks for your patch and for the ping, and sorry I did not respond earlier. I had not forgotten this patch, but I was still working out what to do with it.

The general philosophy in man-pages is to maintain historical information, since the man-pages that are installed on a system may not correspond to the kernel running on that system.

In the context of
your patch, what this means is that I would prefer to have text like:

[[
The kernel source file
.IR Documentation/admin\-guide/cgroup\-v2.rst
(or
.IR Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst in Linux x.y and earlier) ]]

Would you be willing to revise your patch to that style?
