The Fixes: tag points to 8eb76cb03f0f, which introduced the 'value +
size * cpu' pattern in bpf_percpu_array_update() (kernel/bpf/arraymap.c).
That attribution is correct for the arraymap.c fix.
However, at commit 8eb76cb03f0f, kernel/bpf/hashtab.c and
kernel/bpf/local_storage.c still used the correct 'off += size' pattern
and did not have the 'size * cpu' bug yet. The hashtab.c and
local_storage.c bugs were introduced later in the same BPF_F_CPU feature
series.
Should this commit include additional Fixes: tags for the commits that
introduced the bug in hashtab.c and local_storage.c? This would ensure
that backporting tools pick up all three fixes even when the percpu_array
commit is not present in a given stable tree.
