It turns that rebasing without updating the Fixes tag is sort of common.
I wrote a script to find the invalid tags from the last month and have
include the output below. Two of the patches are in -mm and presumably
Andrew is going fold the Fixes commit into the original commit when
these are sent upstream so those aren't a real issue.
We could probably try catching rebased trees when they are merged in
linux-next? I'll play with this and see if it works. But we're going
to end up missing some. Maybe we need a file with a mapping of rebased
hashes which has something like:
28252e08649f 0df68ce4c26a ("iscv: Prepare ptdump for vm layout dynamic addresses")
42ae341756da d338ae6ff2d8 ("userfaultfd: add minor fault registration mode")
