It isn't necessary to add a call stack. Based upon the above you should 
add both a Fixes: tag and a Link: tag. These go in the tags section of 
the commit text before the Signed-off-by:

A Fixes: tag indicates that the patch fixes an issue in a previous 
commit. It is used to make it easy to determine where a bug originated, 
which can help review a bug fix. This tag also assists the stable kernel 
team in determining which stable kernel versions should receive your 
fix. This is the preferred method for indicating a bug fixed by the 
patch. See Describe your changes for more details.

If related discussions or any other background information behind the 
change can be found on the web, add 'Link:' tags pointing to it. If the 
patch is a result of some earlier mailing list discussions or something 
documented on the web, point to it.
