They belong together as a group. > Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport > Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org 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.
