i'm sorry but it seems you miss something. The list of matches wasn't mine it was the list you kernel guys generated in Dec 2011 while you were discussing my NULL pointer dereference. I was just a copy and paste by me.

I only had time to submit these fixes for 3.1.x-stable, you'll just have to be incredibly patient. " As far as i understand the whole problem the (net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()) bug is still in the 3.0 tree but the fix made for this bug is using a lot of other patches not in 3.0. So what can we do now?
