We never CC stable for networking patches.
David Miller prefers to take care of this himself.
( this is in Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt )
Q: How can I tell what patches are queued up for backporting to the
various stable releases?
A: Normally Greg Kroah-Hartman collects stable commits himself, but
for networking, Dave collects up patches he deems critical for the
networking subsystem, and then hands them off to Greg.
There is a patchworks queue that you can see here:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*
It contains the patches which Dave has selected, but not yet handed
off to Greg. If Greg already has the patch, then it will be here:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git
A quick way to find whether the patch is in this stable-queue is
to simply clone the repo, and then git grep the mainline commit ID, e.g.
stable-queue$ git grep -l 284041ef21fdf2e
releases/3.0.84/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
releases/3.4.51/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
releases/3.9.8/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
stable/stable-queue$
