It appears that the final version of the patch that was merged to
Linus's tree [1] does not include the "Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" tag.
If I understand correctly, this means that the patch will not be
automatically included in the -stable tree without further action. Is
there a specific reason not to apply this patch to 5.0.x, or did the tag
just get lost in the merge process?

Cheers,
Jonas
