In commit 03c7527e97f7 ("KVM: arm64: Do not allow ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ASIDbits to be overridden") we made that bitfield in the ID registers unwritable however the change neglected to make the corresponding update to set_id_regs resulting in it failing:

A patch for a test doesn't fix anything in the kernel.
The selftests are shipped as part of the kernel source and frequently used for testing the kernel, it's all one source base and we want to ensure that for example the test fix gets backported if the relevant kernel patch does.

That's not what Fixes: describes. If you want to invent a new tag that expresses a dependency, do that. Don't use these tags to misrepresent what the patches does.

No, this isn't a new use - a Fixes: tag indicates that the referenced commit introduced the problem being fixed and that is exactly what's going on here. Like I say the selftests are not a completely separate project, they are a part of the same source release as the rest of the kernel and it is helpful to track information like this.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree.

A Fixes tag suggests a bug in the referenced commit, which isn't the case here.
I agree that having some relation between the two is useful for determining the scope of a backport, but conveniently in this case the test failure was introduced in 6.13.
I've taken the fix for 6.13, w/ the tag dropped.

While the patch introducing the test failure was introduced in -rc3 it was tagged as a fix for d5a32b60dc18 ("KVM: arm64: Allow userspace to change ID_AA64MMFR{0-2}_EL1") which was in v6.7 so I'm expecting to see it being backported to relevant stable kernels, which will in turn cause testsuite failures in those stable kernels if this change doesn't go back with it. Hopefully they'll find it from the commit message.
I would say there's a case that leaving the tests broken is a bug, it's certainly some kind of problem. Obviously we're sometimes a bit relaxed on that within a series, though it's fortunately relatively rare.
