I don't think this patch is suitable for stable branches. This patch is part of a patch series that changes the lapb module from "establishing the L2 connection only when needed by L3", to "establishing the L2 connection automatically whenever we are able to". This is a behavioral change. It should be seen as a new feature. It is not a bug fix.
Applying this patch without other patches in the same series will also introduce problems, because this patch relies on part of the changes in the subsequent patch in the same series to be correct.
Hi Martin,
It's better that we avoid using words like "fix" in non-bug-fix patches, and make every patch work on its own without subsequent patches. Otherwise we'll make people confused.
