Subject Line should be:

[PATCH net] net: netfilter: Keep conntrack reference until IPsecv6 policy checks are done
or
[PATCH net-next] net: netfilter: Keep ..

see below why net-next makes more sense to me.

... here.

I think its fine to place it here because in this case
the mini-changelog doesn't provide any additional context
worth keeping in git.

Paolo, Jakub, David: This is a bug, but its not a regression
either.  I would suggest that Madhu resubmits this AFTER
net-next re-opens.

Madhu, if thats the agreed-upon procedure, you may include

when you resend this patch as-is.
