Sorry about that, Jakub. Noted, and noted on To: as well.

Will do. Thanks for applying the net pair (af0524bf4ce1, 84bec0bf0352).
I will not repost the multi-queue series until they show up in net-next.
A heads-up so the next series is not a surprise: I posted seven more
ibmveth fixes, split out of this series:

[PATCH net-next 0/7] ibmveth: fix hangs, use-after-frees and
netpoll races
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1790991039.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com/ 
<https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1790991039.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com/>

They fix serious pre-existing bugs in the driver (two hangs, three
use-after-frees and memory corruption), found by AI-assisted review
of this series. They are based on net-next and merge cleanly with
the net pair; they also apply to net if you would rather take them
there.

I am working on v8. My thinking for v8 of the multi-queue series is to 
base it on
net-next once both the net pair and these fixes are in. With the
fixes split out it should be smaller than v7, with the MQ patches
mostly extending that handling per queue, and it would address the

review comments on v7. Hope that works for you. Happy to adjust as needed.
