AFAICT this is supposed to be stable kernel submission. In such case, I'd expect [PATCH 4.14, 4.19, 5.10] in the subject line, and original sign-off block from the mainline patch.
OK. Maybe [1] needs updating.
The documentation says (in this case the third option applies):
Send the patch, after verifying that it follows the above rules, to> stable@vger.kernel.org. You must note the upstream commit ID in the changelog of your submission, as well as the kernel version you wish it to be applied to.
It doesn't specify how to mark desired target branch, unfortunately.
OTOH if it has Fixes tag (and it does) or Cc: stable (it has both), normally there's no need to do separate submission to stable, as Greg handles these automatically?
I got merge conflict mails for 4.9, 4.14, 4.19, 5.4, 5.10 and 5.15 stable. I thought, I need to fix the conflicts and resend. Am I missing anything?? Please let me know.
The upstream commit didn't apply cleanly to *all* stable branches due to conflicts, right?
Thanks.
