Why does the subject say net-next, looks like the bug was introduced
all the way back in 2.6.36. For fixes for code which is already in
Linus'es main tree the subject should say [PATCH net]. Those are on the
fast path to the -rc releases and stable.
Applied to net, and queued for stable, please let me know if I
misunderstood the intention here.
