Quoting documentation: Stable tree ~~~~~~~~~~~ While it used to be the case that netdev submissions were not supposed to carry explicit ``CC: stable@vger.kernel.org`` tags that is no longer the case today. Please follow the standard stable rules in :ref:`Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst `, and make sure you include appropriate Fixes tags!
