Subject: Re: [PATCH net] ipv6: don't stop backtracking in fib6_lookup_1 if subtree does not match

Was it to later to include in 3.11-rc5?
For me, this fix is important. I would like to so this patch in [all|recent] stable kernels quite soon. It is  an important element in my work for v6 multi-homed networks (IETF Homenet WG).
Thanks, Teco
