Hi Dharanitharan,

Please slow down!

It is not appropriate to send multiple versions of a patch CCed to
netdev within in quick succession. Rather, 24h should elapse between
versions. And moreover, I'd advise against CCing netdev on patches
targeted at syzbot testing.

When you do post a fix, for a problem flagged by syzbot, to netdev please
include:

* A description of the problem, and
* How the approach taken fixes it

Typically such a patch will be a bug fix for code present in the net tree.
So it should be targeted at the net tree like this:

Subject: [PATCH net] ...

And it should probably include the following tags:

Fixes:
Reported-by:
Closes:

Especially the Fixes tag.

For an example please see:

For more information on the Netdev development process please see:

Thanks.
