I checked a few more cases for eg:5.15.y:

eg:
1. commit: 7258770e5814 ("KVM: arm64: vgic: Handle race between 
interrupt affinity change and LPI disabling")

the broken commit is:
   rev              : 5dd4b924e390af426e424d5e52c1b4d1566af817
   subject          : KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Add refcounting for IRQs

In Branches:
   mainline             : v4.8-rc1 - 5dd4b924e390 KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: 
Add refcounting for IRQs

so fixes tag(broken commit) in upstream commmit(fix) is in stable-5.15.y.

Don't see FAILED patch for this commit: 7258770e5814 ("KVM: arm64: vgic: 
Handle race between interrupt affinity change and LPI disabling") or 
stable-queue patch.

Was searching for FAILED patch like this: 
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/?q=7258770e5814f15e8308ebda82ac9acf6964ba8e


2. commit: b240f792ae02 ("drm/amdkfd: free MQD managers on DQM init 
failures") fixes Fixes: b7cccc8286bb ("drm/amdkfd: fix a memory leak in 
device_queue_manager_init()")


Commit Data:
   rev              : b7cccc8286bb9919a0952c812872da1dcfe9d390
   subject          : drm/amdkfd: fix a memory leak in 
device_queue_manager_init()
   stable patch-id  : b77e273174d23e67b63515c660e3bff7d5d133ea

In Branches:
   mainline        : v7.0-rc1          - b7cccc8286bb drm/amdkfd: fix a 
memory leak in device_queue_manager_init()
   stable-5.15     : v5.15.199         - e11e8a29b304 drm/amdkfd: fix a 
memory leak in device_queue_manager_init()

so fixes tag(broken commit) in upstream commmit(fix) is in stable-5.15.y.

I also did not find a FAILED patch or a stable-queue-5.15. entry for 
this commit: b240f792ae02 ("drm/amdkfd: free MQD managers on DQM init 
failures")

Was searching for failed patch like this with upstream commit:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/?q=b240f792ae02e9b687eafff934a39e57d1e45365

Also was checking in stable-queue: 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/queue-5.15

Sorry if I these checks are useless. I am asking mostly out of curiosity 
to understand this process.

thanks,
Harshit
