I would encourage you to describe these as enhancements or similar,
but not fixes. Because fix implies a bug, such as a crash. And
bugs for fixes are handled by a slightly different process which
often includes backporting.

Assuming these are three enhancements, then they should be
targeted at the net-next tree. And that should be noted in the subject:

	Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] ...

Unfortunately the series does not seem to apply to net-next
in its current form. So it probably needs to be rebased and reposted.

If you do post an updated series, please observe a 24h grace
period between postings, to give reviewers time to do their thing.
