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