If there are issues with 3.10, that's a different story.

Refactor improvements (v3.11-rc1):
 commit 130d3d68b52 (net_sched: psched_ratecfg_precompute() improvements)

Needed because it fixes the accuracy of the rate calc.

The linklayer ATM/ADSL fix, reached 3.11-rc6:
 commit 8a8e3d84b17 (net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling)

Needed because we broke userspace interface.

David sends me the networking patches for the stable tree, and if he
thinks these are applicable, then I'll take them.

DaveM, please?  What do you want me to do, submit this req/patches somehow?

(Can see that is not currently on your stable queue via:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*)

I'll put it there, you just have to formally ask me to do it that's
all.

Thanks, I assume that this was formally enough and you are taking the patches.

So, for future reference:

Stable patches for the networking tree, I should:
1) check http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*
   to see if my patch is already on your stable queue
2) if not, ask you and cc netdev@vger.kernel.org
3) you will handle the interaction with Greg and stable@vger.kernel.org

Correct?

Asking Greg to do it directly is a complete waste of time. :-)

I'll remember that.  I was just following Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt,
I guess I should have known better as all my previous stable patches
have automagically been picked up and processed by you :-)
