It turns that rebasing without updating the Fixes tag is sort of common. I wrote a script to find the invalid tags from the last month and have include the output below. Two of the patches are in -mm and presumably Andrew is going fold the Fixes commit into the original commit when these are sent upstream so those aren't a real issue.
We could probably try catching rebased trees when they are merged in linux-next? I'll play with this and see if it works. But we're going to end up missing some. Maybe we need a file with a mapping of rebased hashes which has something like:
28252e08649f 0df68ce4c26a ("iscv: Prepare ptdump for vm layout dynamic addresses") 42ae341756da d338ae6ff2d8 ("userfaultfd: add minor fault registration mode")
I thought Stephen's scripts already catch the "this commit isn't in the tree" issue? I use them when I take patches, so that logic came from somewhere :)
