You have sent way too many patches at once. We have a hard limit of
15 patches per person, but really if you're sending low value garbage
you should not send more than 8. So that you can apply the feedback
you receive to later postings.

You may repost new version of the patches to which you receive feedback.
But I don't want to see any new patches from @iscas.ac.cn for
drivers/net and net/ for a month.

Please tell your coworkers/friends.
