Yes, that series is in net-next now.

My understanding of the merge plan was to pull such series in _both_ the
net-next and the vhost tree.

Pulling from a stable public branch allows constant commit hashes in
both trees, avoids conflicts with later vhost patches in the vhost tree
and with later virtio_net/tun/tap patches in net-next and also avoid
conflicts at merge window time.

We do (in net-next) that sort of hashes sharing from time to time for
cross-subtrees changes, like this one.

But not a big deal if you didn't/don't pull the thing in the vhost tree.
At this point, merging it will be likely quite complex and there will be
likely no gains on vhost tree management side.

Perhaps we could use this schema next time.

Thanks,

Paolo
