Oh and since this is a fix it would be great to have the fixes tag[1] to
specify when the bug was introduced

Fixes: ecdf985d7615 ("bpf: track immediate values written to stack by BPF_ST instruction")

Add Cc tag for stable[2] so stable kernels pick up the fix as well

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

And ideally specify that the patch should be applied to the bpf tree rather
than bpf-next[3] (though the BPF maintainers has the final say on which tree
this patch should be applied).

I'd owe you a big thank as well since this helps with our internal process
at my company. So thank you in advance!
