Please format your Subject line correctly, it should be of the form:

	Subject: [PATCH $PATCH_VERSION $TARGET_GIT_TREE] subsystem_prefix: Description.

Using a source file path in the Subject line is not appropriate.

So when you respin this patch you could say:

	Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next] tcp: Cleanup duplicate initialization of sk->sk_state.
