Hi Tejaswi,

Please send the new version of your patch as fresh new submission, with
proper subject prefix. In this case, it should be [PATCH net v2]. 'net'
because this is a bugfix and it should therefore target the 'net' tree.
'v2' because that's the second version of this series.

Also it'd be good if you could add a proper 'Fixes' tag in order to
help with stable backports. If the bug has always been there, just say
so.

I have no expertise on slhc, but overall, the patch content looks fine.

Guillaume
