The net-next pull request is out:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240312042504.1835743-1-kuba@kernel.org/

at this point I believe we can't retract it unless there is a very
serious regression affecting most/all users. This does not look such
case.

I think the better option is follow-up on net with follow-up fixes if
any.

All the relevant patches could be sent to the stable tree later:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/process/stable=
-kernel-rules.rst#L47

To try to reduce the possibilities of this kind of situation in the
future, may I kindly ask you to invest some more little time to help
the reviewers and the maintainers? e.g. trimming the replies explicitly
cutting all the unneeded parts in the quoted code/text would make the
whole conversation much easier to follow (at least to me). The netdev
volume is insane, it's very easy to get lost in a given thread and miss
relevant part of it.

Cheers,

Paolo
