No it is not. If you were sending a patch (which has already been accepted upstream) to the stable trees, then you would specify what stable kernels the patch applies to. In your case, I would not consider your patches critical for the stable trees. So when sending patches, you inform the maintainer (i.e. me) what tree you want your patch applied by stating either "net" or "net-next" in the title. For example, this patch would be titled: [net v3 1/3] igb: Add igb_disable_sriov in error handling Which lets me know you want your patch applied to the "net" tree. If it were not a fix, then it would go into the "net-next" tree by using the title: [net-next v3 1/3] igb: Add igb_disable_sriov in error handling
