Jakub, A process question that I could not find an answer to on the netdev FAQ. With commit 98c41f04a67a ("ibmvnic: reduce wait for completion time") the pre-requisites for the above patch are in the net tree but not yet in net-next. When net-next is open, does it get periodically rebased to net tree or does the rebase happen only when net-next closes? If latter, should I resend above patch based on net-next and handle a manual merge during the rebase? (There is no functional dependence on the pre-reqs - just needs a manual merge). Thanks, Sukadev
