Yes, usually when one person authors a patch to fix a problem reported by someone else, a Reported-by tag is added to credit that reporter. When it's the same person as the one who authors the patch, it's not needed. > 2) Am I allowed to request a CVE number for this race condition bug? No, this will happen automatically once the fix is considered for backporting by the stable team, and the cve team decides which fixes need a CVE. The process is described here: Documentation/process/cve.rst. Regards, Willy
