Hi Jan,

I am a little unclear if this patch addresses a user-visible bug, or
is adding a new feature.


If it is fixing a bug then it should be targeted at the net tree.
It should apply cleanly there, and the tree should be noted in the subject.

  Subject: [PATCH net] ...

Also, if it is a bug fix, it should have a fixes tag, indicating the
revision(s) where the problem was introduced. This to assist in backporting
fixes. In this case perhaps the following is appropriate:


On the other hand, if this is a new feature, then it should be targeted
at net-next:

  Subject: [PATCH net-next] ...

And in that case the following applies.


In either case, I think it would be good to expand the commit message.
It should explain why this change is being made.


## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.7 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations.
We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after November 12th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
