Hi Dave,

Is there going to be a merge of net into net-next before the merge window
opens?  Or do you have a sample merge that I can rebase my afs-next branch on?

The problem I have is that there's a really necessary patch in net that's not
in net-next:

	d7b4c24f45d2efe51b8f213da4593fefd49240ba
	rxrpc: Fix an uninitialised variable

(it fixes a fix that went in net just before you last merged it into
net-next).

So I would like to base my branch on both net and net-next, but the merge is
non-trivial, and I'd rather not hand Linus a merge that conflicts with yours.

The issues are:

 (*) net/sched/cls_api.c

     I think nlmsg_parse() needs to take both rtm_tca_policy and cb->extack as
     its last two arguments.  Each branch fills in one argument and leaves the
     other NULL.

 (*) net/ipv4/ipmr_base.c

     mr_rtm_dumproute() got a piece abstracted out and modified in one branch,
     but the unabstracted branch has a fix in the same area.  I think the
     thing to do is to apply the fix (removing the same two lines) from the
     abstracted-out branch.

Thanks,
David
