For staging, always work against linux-next or staging-next. For networking patches sent to Dave Miller, then you have to figure out if the patch applies to [PATCH net] or [PATCH net-next]. Just putting [PATCH -next] because you happen to be working on linux-next is not correct. You have to investigate both networking trees to determine where the patch should be applied. regards, dan carpenter
