I apologize for failing to follow the procedure. I had already read
these guidelines, and I actually thought I was following Option 1 :-/

Is this commit already in Linus's tree?  If so then we just need a git
commit id and we can queue it up.

No, it isn't yet. My patch has not been reviewed yet.

I thought that I had to get my patch merged into next first (patch
against dtor's git) and that by adding stable@ as CC, it would
automatically get considered for inclusion into stable once merged
into Linus' tree. Based on your email, I got that wrong...

It will, but you need to add that to the signed-off-by: area, as the
document says.

Oh dear, that's the bit I missed.

At this point I assume that I should not resubmit a patch (to avoid
unnecessary noise) and patiently wait for a review, e.g., by Jiri, for
it to be included in next.
From there, I'll try to do the right thing (CC stable in the
signed-off area) shall a new version be necessary or follow option 2
with the commit id when it gets merged to Linus' tree.

Once again, my apologies for failing to follow the procedure and thank
you for your patience.
