Yes, it should be sent to net. But the problem is that if I don't carry
this patch, the BPF CI test will always crash. Maybe I should send a
copy to both net and bpf-next? Do you have any suggestions?

I do not have any experience with bpf-next. But typically patches
to 'net' are taken after one or two days, if there are no issues.
I'd assume they are then picked to net-next and bpf-next(?) almost instantly.
Then you would not need it in your bpf series anymore.

AFAIU the patches which land in net will make it to -next trees after
respective PR with fixes. So


 patch -> 
          net ->
                 [next Thu] Linus ->
                                      [same day] net-next
                                      [at some point] bpf PR ->
                                                                 Linux
                                                                        -> bpf-next

What gets applied to net should be in net-next in a week,
and most -next trees within 2 weeks.
