I'll be glad to just put KVM into the "never apply any patches to stable unless you explicitly mark it as such", but the sad fact is that many recent KVM fixes for reported CVEs never had any "Cc: stable@vger" markings.
Hmm, I did miss it in 433f4ba1904100da65a311033f17a9bf586b287e and acff78477b9b4f26ecdf65733a4ed77fe837e9dc, but that's going back to August 2018, so I can do better but it's not too shabby a record. :)
They only had "Fixes:" tags and so I have had to dig them out of the tree and backport them myself in order to resolve those very public issues.
So can I ask that you always properly tag things for stable? If so, I will be glad to ignore Fixes: tags for KVM patches in the future.
I'll go drop this patch as well. Note, there are other KVM patches in this release cycle also, can someone verify that I did not overreach for them as well?
I checked them and they are fine.
