Hi Carlos,

This is not how you resubmit a patch, it is both documented in [1] and
[2], that: "In case the patch or patch series has to be reworked and
sent out again in a second or later revision, it is also required to
add a version number (v2, v3, ...) into the subject prefix"

[1] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst#q-how-do-i-indicate-which-tree-bpf-vs-bpf-next-my-patch-should-be-applied-to

[2] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#the-canonical-patch-format

Take a look at [1], which toplevel doc is about "HOWTO interact with
BPF subsystem".
