Because "Fixes:" is not the flag that we are sure to trigger off of.
Please read:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.
That being said, because some subsystem maintainers do NOT put cc:
stable in their patches, we do sometimes sweep the tree and try to pick
up things with only "Fixes:" but we don't always catch everything.
So if you want to be sure a patch is applied, please always add a cc:
stable in the patch.
thanks,
greg k-h
