Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 net-next 2/4] net: Introduce generic failover module

Hi Sridhar,

Thank you for the patch! Perhaps something to improve:

[auto build test WARNING on net/master]
[also build test WARNING on v4.17-rc1]
[cannot apply to net-next/master next-20180420]
[if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system]
