You are right, sorry about that. It is based on two net-next series
and I didn't expect such a fast response. 

1. https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20231002083832.19746-1-leon@kernel.org/ - accepted.
2. https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20231014171908.290428-16-saeed@kernel.org/#t - not accepted yet.

Do you feel comfortable with the series/xfrm patches? If yes, Saeed can
resend the series directly to net-next once patch #2 is accepted.

Thanks
