Looks like a fix, it needs a Fixes tag and needs to go to net.

Michael already asked you for the Fixes tag on v2, why did you decide
to switch to net-next instead?

We don't route fixes to net-next when they are targeting less
important features, in case that's your reason. Either something 
is a fix or it's not. If you think this is not a fix - you need to
explain in the commit message why.
