Patches required for 3.9 stable

[Jason Wang]

Hi Greg:

Please include the following commits into 3.9.y. Which fixes:

1) Crash when sending GSO packets from untrusted sources
9b4d669bc06c215d64f56f1eb0d4eb96e14d689d
38502af77e07b5d6650b9ff99a0b482d86366592
c1aad275b0293d2b1905ec95a945422262470684
f9ca8f74399f9195fd8e01f67a8424a8d33efa55
15e5a030716468dce4032fa0f398d840fa2756f6

2) Can't create a multiqueue tap
e8dbad66ef56074eadb41ed5998acd2320447018

All can be cheery-picked and I have tested them.

Thanks

Then please work with the network maintainer, as he has a separate
stable queue that he tests and then sends to me, I do not apply stable
patches directly for the network subsystem.

Have you looked at the stable patchwork queue to verify that these are
not in there already?

thanks,

I'm currently working on stable submissions for networking.  The
person to ask for this kind of stuff is me, not Greg.

Is there a way (git, http, mailing list) to know where things are when
a patch has been removed from patchwork [1] and has not appeared in
Greg's tree [2] ?

I can take it as a signal that it will either appear shortly in Greg's
current queue or signal a problem but a confirmation that I have not
missed an information channel would be welcome.

Thanks.

[1] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*&archive=both
[2] http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git
    as per Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt

Usually it's only a week or so at the most that this gap happens, why
does it matter?

You can watch the stable@vger.kernel.org mailing list and see the
submission by David of the patches, and then my ack of them later when
they hit my tree, is that sufficient?

thanks,

No.
