Jason, I think it's better if you have to wait to see the patch in Linus' tree. Then, specify upstream commit, indicate that this is a backport, and what -stable kernel versions you are targeting too so we make it easier for Greg. We've been dealing with netfilter -stable submissions ourselves, so CC netfilter-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. I think that's all. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
