Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for your request. However I wonder why this patch in the upstream
is not marked as cc-stable or with Fixes tag? Similarly to your previous
requests - none of them are correctly marked.

Following Linux kernel stable process allows entire community and all
users to benefit from stable backports. It's also straightforward and
effortless for downstream users. Therefore the patch, when submitted
upstream, should have a CC-stable tag with optional Fixes tag.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
