Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> > Tested-by: Long Li <longli@microsoft.com> > Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> You hyperv guys really have to get your act together. This is not properly submitted. Most importantly, this is a serious reference to free memory bug. Therefore it should be targetted at 'net' not 'net-next'. Secondly, you do not CC: stable for networking changes, you instead ask me to queue it up for my next batch of -stable networking changes. Thirdly, your Subject line is malformed. You should not use "Drivers: " as a prefix. Just the driver name is sufficient. You should also not mentionen the target GIT tree outside of the [PATCH ...] bracketed area. Also, please be cognizant of how much of my time you unnecessarily consume when you make a malformed submission like this. That is time I could spend reviewing other patches. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
