Dave, the following patches looks applicable for the stable
releases. Please queue them up if you agree.

What is the point of my publishing the pending networking -stable
queue if you're not even going to check it?  Those last two patches
were already queued up.

Furthermore, it is erroneous to suggest the -ENOMEM SCTP fix without
the memory leak fix that happens in the commit right before it.

I've queued things up appropriately, but I really don't appreciate
how you've handled this at all.  It makes a lot more work for me than
necessary.

Dave, Yes, I did check the link you gave to me. However, it was empty
(no patch there) when emailing you, so I thought none of those been
queued up yet. It is also empty now. If I clicked the "patches" link,
it pointed me to http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/
which it has patches but I believe it is not for the stable. Please
let me know if I am missing anything.

Thanks for the reviewing.

OK, thanks for letting me know.

It's empty because you didn't change the filter to not
filter patches already applied upstream.
