Subject: 回复: [PATCH v5] wwan: core: Support slicing in port TX flow of WWAN subsystem

Dear Loic

I'm sorry to bother you, but I want to know whether my patch is accepted by the community.
Because it seems to be a merge window, but the patch state still is "Not Applicable". Could you 
give me some suggestions about this patch state?

BR
Haozhe

You normally don't need to resubmit a version just for adding review tags, as it is well tracked. You can see status of netdev changes from
patchwork:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=&submitter=207580&state=*&q=&archive=both&delegate=__;Kg!!CTRNKA9wMg0ARbw!jXuZ2mOXJnaIzFA696nBp09HXGpJBmuH1VVD_RRUAITEOXm--zUP8GDdAm0wa70-IbxCBmbRhYR9SaLn8Muf2bG1E68$  

Regarding this change you should however resubmit for the net-next tree with appropriate subject since it is not a bug fix:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-netdev.html?highlight=netdev*how-do-i-indicate-which-tree-net-vs-net-next-my-patch-should-be-in__;Iw!!CTRNKA9wMg0ARbw!jXuZ2mOXJnaIzFA696nBp09HXGpJBmuH1VVD_RRUAITEOXm--zUP8GDdAm0wa70-IbxCBmbRhYR9SaLn8Mufd3UkIVI$  

Then it should be picked by netdev maintainer(s). But note that we're currently in the Linux 6.2 merge window, so merging for net-next can be delayed until the mainline merge window is closed (and net-next
open):
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-netdev.html?highlight=netdev*how-often-do-changes-from-these-trees-make-it-to-the-mainline-linus-tree__;Iw!!CTRNKA9wMg0ARbw!jXuZ2mOXJnaIzFA696nBp09HXGpJBmuH1VVD_RRUAITEOXm--zUP8GDdAm0wa70-IbxCBmbRhYR9SaLn8MufBL1Lhxg$
