I'm wondering how to tell stable maintainers about dependencies of
(not yet applied) patches? In practice I saw that contributors use
Fixes tag for the entire chain (for the preparatory patches + the real
fix) when it's not easy / in a nice way to rebase to have a one-patch
fix followed by refactoring, etc.

It's as if no one has ever had this issue before and wrote it down for
all to read and know what to do in the future.

{sigh}

Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

If you don't know the git id, just use the subject line and it should
work the same.

greg "why even write documentation?" k-h

It's good we have it, thanks for writing!
From time to time even experienced developers need to re-read documentation.
