Thanks, I assume that this was formally enough and you are taking the patches.

So, for future reference:

Stable patches for the networking tree, I should:
1) check http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*
   to see if my patch is already on your stable queue
2) if not, ask you and cc netdev@...r.kernel.org
3) you will handle the interaction with Greg and stable@...r.kernel.org

Correct?

I'll remember that.  I was just following Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt,
I guess I should have known better as all my previous stable patches
have automagically been picked up and processed by you :-)
