I queue up that patch for stable, and why.  I handle networking
stable submissions on my own.


I apologize. For some reason, I was under the impression that the rule applied to core networking and not driver-only changes. Will keep this in mind.

How should I proceed with this? Should I resubmit?

Also, I'm a little confused as to why my previous submissions to net with stable Cc'd were ok. E.g. commit 375679104ab3ccfd18dcbd7ba503734fb9a2c63a - "tg3: Expand 4g_overflow_test workaround to skb fragments of any size.". Did it slip by because I didn't have the < >?

Thanks,
Nithin.
