Since we are now in a bug fix period, I was wondering if you could have
a look at commit 7e3f5c8 (ixgbe: fix bounds checking in ixgbe_setup_tc
for 82598)
I don't see it in
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*
so I was wondering if it could be a valid candidate for stable.

Best regards,
