Please resend the patch, I am fine with you being the committer, but
please add in Changelog _some_ attribution, like :
Problem initialy reported and fixed by Eric Dumazet.
You see, there is a difference if you at least acknowledge fact that
someone spent some time before you on the problem.
Correct attribution is an incent for people to look at your drivers and
fix their bugs, its a win-win.
