The patch below does not apply to the 4.4-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.

This patch is not needed in 4.4.

Why not? The two "Fixes:" tag show that those commits are in 4.4:

Fixes: 193125dbd8eb ("net: Introduce VRF device driver") Fixes: 35402e313663 ("net: Add IPv6 support to VRF device")

193125dbd8eb showed up in 4.3, and 35402e313663 showed up in 4.4.

so why isn't this needed in 4.4.y?

thanks,
