This patch series has a lot of problems.

The worst one is that you are mixing bug fixes and new
features/cleanups.

You cannot do that.

You _especially_ can't do that if you expect some of this stuff
to be submitted to -stable too.

Therefore you _must_ extract out the bug fixes, and submit those
against 'net'.  And you must then wait for 'net' to be merged
into 'net-next' before submitting the new feature patches.

Furthermore, you should explicitly show what tree you are targetting
your patches at, in your Subject lines.  In the form:

	Subject: [PATCH $(TREE) N/M]

Where $(TREE) is either 'net' or 'net-next'.

THanks.
