My patch is against -net. (I see you already figured out your patch is
missing in -net-next.)


Ok, should have re-read this email before working on the patch;->

Or are you suggesting to rebase it for -net-next? I think it fixes some real
bug so -net is better, although it is slightly large as a bug fix.


I am conflicted. There are a lot of changes in net-next at the moment;
adding this to -net seems like will definetely cause merge issues for
Dave.

Ok, Cong - patch attached and tested. Let me know what you think.

cheers,
jamal
