>From the stable side I am not queueing anything for this yet. Your v2 is not
in mainline, and both it and a revert of b5964aac51e0 ("netfilter: flowtable:
consolidate xmit path") conflict on 6.18 as things stand.

Once the fix is merged, please tag it Cc: stable and it will reach 6.18
through the normal queue.
