Dear Greg,
Thank you for the guidance.
I'm sorry that I haven't explicitly stated that this should be a stable-only fix. DCCP was removed upstream in v6.16, so the issue cannot be fixed in mainline. I missed including that context in the original submission.
Jakub confirmed that this fix may proceed as a stable-only patch for branches which still contain DCCP. [1]
Do you prefer that I submit a v2 explicitly marked as a stable-only fix? Just want to ensure I follow the expected process.
BTW: I could not find specific guidance in the stable-kernel rules on how a stable-only patch (for upstream-removed code) should be formatted. Could you advise a sample expected structure?
Thank you for your time and review.
Your Sincerely, Yizhou Zhao
