I see a network patch and I think it should be backported to stable. Should I request it via stable@vger.kernel.org like the references in the kernel's Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst file say?
No, not for networking. Check the stable queues as per above first
173
-
to see if it is already queued. If not, then send a mail to netdev,
174
-
listing the upstream commit ID and why you think it should be a stable
175
-
candidate.
176
-
177
-
Before you jump to go do the above, do note that the normal stable rules
178
-
in :ref:`Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst <stable_kernel_rules>`
179
-
still apply. So you need to explicitly indicate why it is a critical
180
-
fix and exactly what users are impacted. In addition, you need to
181
-
convince yourself that you *really* think it has been overlooked,
182
-
vs. having been considered and rejected.
183
-
184
-
Generally speaking, the longer it has had a chance to "soak" in
185
-
mainline, the better the odds that it is an OK candidate for stable. So
186
-
scrambling to request a commit be added the day after it appears should
187
-
be avoided.

I have created a network patch and I think it should be backported to stable. Should I add a Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org like the references in the kernel's Documentation/ directory say?
