Hi,
Thanks for your patch.
I found this report confusing.
It seems like it's saying a patch with "Fixes: ..." *must* include a "Cc: stable" tag, but that is wrong, it's up to the developer to decide.
We actually wish to notify that to have a patch automatically picked up for stable inclusion, it should add a "CC: stable" tag, regardless of whether it is a "Fixes:" patch or not.
Sorry for any confusion. We will consider improving the wording.
Thanks, Yujie
What it's trying to say is that the patch was Cc'ed via mail to stable@vger.kernel.org and that is not the correct way to request stable inclusion.
So can I suggest the report begins with something like:
Your patch was Cc'ed via mail to stable@vger.kernel.org but that is not the correct way to requestion stable inclusion, the correct method is ....
FYI: kernel test robot notices the stable kernel rule is not satisfied.
The check is based on https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html#opti...
Rule: add the tag "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" in the sign-off area to have the patch automatically included in the stable tree. Subject: [PATCH] arch/powerpc/kvm: Fix doorbell emulation by adding DPDES support Link: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20240522082838.121769-1-gautam%40linux.ibm.co...
