What is the git commit id of this patch in Linus's tree?
There is no upstream commit upstream yet.
@Alakesh: You have to submit your patch to netfilter-devel@vger.kernel.org first for review, then patch may be integrated upstream via nf.git tree. This patch will be passed to upstream maintainer David S. Miller via pull request, so it will propagate to the net.git, and then David will pass it up to Linus again via pull request.
Telling all this because by when patch shows in Linus git tree, then we can request inclusion for -stable, not sooner.
Thanks.
