Hi,
This patch fixes a kernel panic when using netifd. Could you please apply it also to linux-5.15.y at least?
TIA and kind regards,

Hi Peter
This is better, but still has some process issues.

needs to go here. Your patch will first get applied to the next -rc release. Once it is published there, any patches with this tag are automatically added to the list for backporting to stable. That will include all long term stable branches, so there is no need to request specifically linux-5.15.
There is some documentation about this here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst
Anything above the --- gets merged as the commit message. Anything below it and the patch proper gets discarded. This is where you can add comments for Maintainers etc. For this patch, you don't actually need any such comments.
I often say to mainline newbies: The code is easy, the hard bit is the processes.
