uh, it seems that i misunderstood the manual. If i just submit a patch to fix a bug in 4.14 which not exists in upstream, need i add a commit-id line to the mail body?
You need to explain in great detail _why_ the commit is not needed in Linus's tree for me to be able to accept the patch.
It is ok that I remove the commitid line and resend the patch?
Yes please, and add lots of text to the changelog area explaining why this is only needed in this one specific kernel tree.
