No, please do add the stable tag if you think it is needed. And ensure that the changelog explains why a backport is needed, by describing the user-visible effects of the bug.

If we have more people flagging backport patches, fewer patches will fall through the cracks. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
