Thanks, yes. I have thread = true, but send it after the cover letter with

git send-email --to linux-modules@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --cc
lucas.de.marchi@xxxxxxxxx
--in-reply-to=20210608062859.93959-1-ykaliuta@xxxxxxxxxx
0001-libkmod-module-check-new_from_name-return-value-in-g.patch
0002-libkmod-builtin-consider-final-NIL-in-name-length-ch.patch

So, the right way is to send all together, or disable 'thread'.
