Fixes: 5643135a2846 ("fs/9p: This patch implements TLCREATE for 9p2000.L protocol.") Signed-off-by: Victor Hsieh victorhsieh@google.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
(afaiu it is normally frowned upon for developers to add this cc (I can understand stable@ not wanting spam discussing issues left and right before maintainers agreed on them!) ; I can add it to the commit itself if requested but they normally pick most such fixes pretty nicely for backport anyway; I see most 9p patches backported as long as the patch applies cleanly which is pretty much all the time. Please let me know if I understood that incorrectly)
Some people assume this, but the stable maintainers themselves say that Cc'ing stable@vger.kernel.org on in-development patches is fine: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200423184219.GA80650@kroah.com
And doing so is pretty much inevitable, since the tag gets picked up by 'git send-email'. (Yes, there's also "stable@kernel.org", but it's not actually what is documented.)
