   It should be a stable fix, but as Ben Hutchings mentioned in
another mail, Maybe, removing netif_stop_queue when cable link down is a

better choice.

   Do you mean we need add 'cc:stable@vger.kernel.org'  just before 'some

people report  ...' ?

Nope, see commit 4f7a67e2dd49fbfba002c453bc24bf00e701cc71
as an example of how to do this. This is a random commit that has been
marked as stable.

    USB: fix PS3 EHCI systems

    After commit aaa0ef289afe9186f81e2340114ea413eef0492a "PS3 EHCI
QH
    read work-around", Terratec Grabby (em28xx) stopped working with AMD
    Geode LX 800 (USB controller AMD CS5536). Since this is a PS3 only
    fix, the following patch adds a conditional block around it.

Sometimes it helps if you specify the oldest stable kernel to apply patches to,
so for example:

    ath9k: fix invalid pointer access in the tx path

    After setup_frame_info has been called, only info->control.rates is still
    valid, other control fields have been overwritten by the ath_frame_info
    data. Move the access to info->control.vif for checking short preamble
    to setup_frame_info before it gets overwritten.

    This regression was introduced in commit d47a61aa
    "ath9k: Fix multi-VIF BSS handling"

To be clear, this is not a Cc: in the e-mail but instead a Cc line in the commit
