Yes, and the subject needs to be fixed as well. This is networking and they have specific rules. You'd need to put net-next in the subject since it's not a bugfix. [PATCH net-next] net/xen-netback: remove unnecessary cast Also when you resend, include all the people from ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl. You may as well not count it as a v2 because no one how matters will see this version of the patch and calling it a v2 will only be confusing. regards, dan carpenter
