OK - I wasn't certain whether you wanted the Fixes or stable tag dropped.
(Greg didn't seem to object to the Fixes: as such, just to the
incorrect version prereq)
I think it's really confusing... A patch should only have a Fixes tag if
it's fixing a specific bug in that patch. Either it is, in which case
you would not need Cc stable at all since it's only in 6.5-rc, or it
It is fixing a bug in b6f3f28f60. I should have checked whether the
patch series had already gone to release, not just -rc, instead of
just adding the stable tag out of caution.
But this is the confusion - if it's fixing a bug in b6f3f28f60, then why
is it marked as needing to get backported much further back, predating
that commit?
I see - it doesn't need to be backported that far back _alone_. It only
needs to be applied after b6f3f28f60 once that one has been backported.
Cheers,
Michael
