A few logistics issues:

1. The patch should be sent as a set, as
   [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] ...
   [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] ...
   [PATCH bpf-next 2/2] ...

2. You need to specify which tree this is targeting. In this case, bpf-next.
3. Please use different commit log for each patch.
4. No need for Signed-off-by in the cover letter.

Please resubmit. And generate the patches with git command similar to
the following:

git format-patch --cover-leter --subject_prefix "PATCH bpf-next v2" HEAD~2

Thanks,
