Subject: Re: [PATCH] ipv6: Not to probe neighbourless routes

So yeah, this is one instance where the kbuild test robot's report is
making more rather than less work for us.

We identified the build problem within hours of this patch being
posted and the updated version was posted more than 24 hours ago.

The kbuild robot should really have a way to either:

1) Report build problems faster, humans find the obvious cases like
   this one within a day or less.

2) Notice that a new version of the patch was posted or that a human
   responded to the patch pointing out the build problem.

Otherwise we get postings like this which is just more noise to
delete.

Thanks.
