If you know you want a patch in the stable tree, add cc: stable.

Because not all maintainers remember to do so, we do dig through all patches with just the fixes: tag, and try to backport them if needed, but it does not always happen, and there can be long lags as well.

So again, if you know you want it in a stable kernel, add the cc: stable.

Thanks for clarifying. I already did so - I figured having cc:stable won't hurt anyway. Besides, it is an explicit statement that "that patch is stable material" because Fixes: doesn't always necessarily mean, stable material.

Thx.
