- If the patch covers files in net/ or drivers/net please follow netdev stable
submission guidelines as described in
:ref:`Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.rst <netdev-FAQ>`
after first checking the stable networking queue at
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?series=&submitter=&state=*&q=&archive=
to ensure the requested patch is not already queued up.
- Security patches should not be handled (solely) by the -stable review
process but should follow the procedures in
:ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/security-bugs.rst <securitybugs>`.
