Hi Sasha,

Michael Wang has sent a v2 patch [1] for this bug and it is merged
into netdev/net-next.git. However, the v1 patch is already in the
upstream tree.

How do you guys handle such a issue?

Ugh. Michael can you please work with netdev to fix this in the
upstream, and hopefully -stable, kernels? My guess is you will need
to rebase your v2 patch on top of the v1 patch (basically what exists
in upstream) and send that back out.

I'm just going to drop this one for now (it never made it in). If there
is a follow-up you do want us to queue please let us know :)
