I also have a question: I have another bugfix that should only be applied to 4.6 and not to 4.7/net-next - should I directly send it to stable@vger.kernel.org ?
Allow me to give some background info:
The bug was (accidentally) fixed by a refactoring patch [1] in net-next. But the problem was then discovered by people which used net and not net-next.
I have created a bugfix [2] which would solve the problem in net but wouldn't apply in net-next. This is why Antonio asked if he should send it to stable@ or if there is a better way to get it integrated.
Kind regards, Sven
