Hi Jose!

Patches directed at net should have a Fixes tag identifying the commit
which introduced the problem. The commit messages should also describe
user-visible outcomes of the bugs. Without those two its hard to judge
which patches are important for stable backports.

Could you please repost with appropriate Fixes tags?
