Hi Greg,
It recently came to my attention that this patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/patch/?id... [Upstream commit 69cba9d3c1284e0838ae408830a02c4a063104bc] ... which is marked with Fixes tag for a change that went into 5.9 kernel, was taken into 6.4 and 6.1 stable trees. However, I do not see this in the 5.15 stable tree.
I got emails about this fix being taken to the 6.4 and 6.1 stable. But I do not see any communication about 5.15 kernel.
Was this missed? Or is there something in the process that I missed? Based on the kernel documentation about commit tags, I assumed that for commits that have the "Fixes: " tag, it was not necessary to add the "CC: stable" as well. Please let me know if that understanding is wrong.
Regarding this particular fix, I discussed this with Steve, and he agrees that this fix needs to go into all stable kernels as well.
