Please do not make extra work for maintainers by sending attachments,
or requests for status/merge etc. Your 1st patch had to be manually
set to an RFC, and now you add another patch less than 24h later.

Please see:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/177934/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/178132/

Also, a patch should describe the problem it solves (i.e. the symptom
the end user sees), and how the problem originated, and why the fix
in the patch is the _right_ fix. The worst description a commit log
can have is one that just describes the C change in words, since
most people can read C on their own.

Here you add "_bh" in the code and then repeat exactly that in
the commit log. Your commit log does not tell me when it broke,
or why it broke, or who had their use case broken. Can you see
why this is not acceptable?

Please take the time to look at the traffic in netdev, and read
the feedback given by maintainers on other patches, so that the
common errors are understood by you, and not repeated. It
will be time well spent!

Thanks,
Paul.
