Yan, repeating my request, could you please remove all references to email threads from the change-logs of your series and resend it. FWIW you can leave them in the section below the --- line so git am will not pick them. Or. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
