Several problems here.

You cannot submit patches to net-next and expect them to go onward to
-stable.  That is not appropriate.  If it is going to stable, you
must target 'net' not 'net-next'.

Furthermore, for networking changes, explicit CC: of stable is not
appropriate.  Instead you must explicitly ask me to queue the patch
up for -stable as I handle networking stable submissions myself.

Thank you.
