This patchset contains fixes for the bugs that were discovered so far.

If these are all fixes you should submit them against the "net" tree.
net-next is for features [1].

Since these are fixes, you may also want to provide a Fixes: 12-digit
commit ("commit subject") [2] such that David can queue these patches
for stable trees and this can be retrofitted into kernel distributions.

Yeah I agree.  If they are genuine bug fixes they should be submitted
against 'net'.  And yes, Fixes: tags are quite desirable as well.
