I'd take it one step further and remove both 'Fixes' tags. A 'Fixes' tag implies a flaw in the functionality of the code, this is just a function rename.

Totally agree.

Another important thing to keep in mind about 'Fixes' tags, unless you've told the stable kernel folks to only take patches that you've explicitly marked for stable, they are likely going to attempt to backport anything with a 'Fixes' tag.

How do we go about doing that? Do we just send an email to stable?

Is it disabled for security? I thought new functionality won't be backported. Hopefully the changes for making IMA & EVM full fledged LSMs won't be automatically backported to stable.

thanks,
