Hi Arınç

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-netdev.html#netdev-faq

says:

  don't repost your patches within one 24h period

  2.6.6. Resending after review¶

  Allow at least 24 hours to pass between postings. This will ensure
  reviewers from all geographical locations have a chance to chime
  in. Do not wait too long (weeks) between postings either as it will
  make it harder for reviewers to recall all the context.
 
  Make sure you address all the feedback in your new posting. Do not
  post a new version of the code if the discussion about the previous
  version is still ongoing, unless directly instructed by a reviewer.

During a weekend, i would say 24 hours is way too short, and 3 days is
more like it, given that for a lot of people being a Maintainer is a
day job, 9-5 week days.

You should also try to gauge how fast Maintainers are reacting. 24
hours is often too fast. You know Russell is interested in these
patches, so don't send a new version until you actually get feedback
from him, and the discussion has come to a conclusion.
