The documentation is a bit lacking here. I follow the same procedure
as Greg: Dave sends us backports for patches he picks for -stable and
I apply them.

The only difference is that my (currently empty) queue is located elsewhere:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/sashal/linux-stable.git/log/?h=linux-3.18.y-queue

To sum it up, no need to send anything regarding -stable  net/ to anyone,
Dave does all the heavy lifting there (thanks Dave!).


Thanks,
Sasha
