Perhaps a Fixes: tag might be helpful here, such as:

Fixes: 96db776a3682 ("i40e/i40evf: fix interrupt affinity bug")

as I reported in my other (late) patch:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=150279303222066&w=2

> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and maybe also an indication about which versions this applies to, such as

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.10+

In general, feel free to copy from my commit message.

These comments also apply to:

[PATCH] net/i40evf: use cpumask_copy() for assigning cpumask

Thanks,
