I am sorry. I'm still new to this process, and I clearly haven't found my way yet. Accept my apology and consider that others making the same mistake are likely trying to find their ways as well. Rest sure that I do appreciate your time and work, I'll pay more attention on those time windows. Just to avoid bothering you further, should I resend this patch or not? I saw at the link below that it's already marked as "Deferred". http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/160929/ Is there a link where I can check the state (i.e. open, frozen) of 'net' and 'net-next' trees? I think keeping such page, and adding this link to Documentation/SubmittingPatches would reduce similar mistakes. -- [ ]'s Michel Machado
