Please carefully read Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt

A: Normally Greg Kroah-Hartman collects stable commits himself, but
   for networking, Dave collects up patches he deems critical for the
   networking subsystem, and then hands them off to Greg.

   There is a patchworks queue that you can see here:
        http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*

   It contains the patches which Dave has selected, but not yet handed
   off to Greg.  If Greg already has the patch, then it will be here:
        http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git

   A quick way to find whether the patch is in this stable-queue is
   to simply clone the repo, and then git grep the mainline commit ID, e.g.

        stable-queue$ git grep -l 284041ef21fdf2e
        releases/3.0.84/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
        releases/3.4.51/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
        releases/3.9.8/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
        stable/stable-queue$
