Subject: RE: [PATCH net-next v6] net: hv_netvsc: fix netvsc_send_completion to
 avoid multiple message length checks

Patches to the Hyper-V netvsc driver usually have the patch subject prefix
as only "hv_netvsc: ".   Look at the commit log for the files in drivers/net/hyperv.
There's value in consistency unless someone really thinks we need the "net:"
prefix as well.

Is there anything different in this v6 versus the previous v5?  I received
v5 twice -- on 9/26 @ 10:50pm and then on 9/27 @ 2:17pm just a
couple of minutes before this v6.  Maybe the second v5 was intended
to be v6?   Is the difference another indentation change?

In any case, the code looks good,
