I strongly suggest you invest just as much time in reviewing other people's patches as sending yours or they will all be automatically rejected.
Thanks for your reminder. I didn't know that our community has such a rule. I will try to reduce the number of iterations of my patches and the number of my emails sent to our community.
Every patch submission has a cost. A reviewer and/or maintainer has to process it. You're sending way more than average, hence depleting the time reviewer/maintainers can spend on other submissions. This is not ok.
I am very willing to review other people's patches, but I am only familiar with "BPF [SELFTESTS]" module. If possible, I would like to add myself (Geliang Tang geliang@kernel.org) as a reviewer of this module in MAINTAINERS so that I can receive emails of new patches for reviewing. Or please add this for me.
That's not how it works. Anyone can subscribe to bpf@vger and start reviewing patches. After some time when developers and maintainers see that a person commenting on the patches actually adding value then they will get recognized with R: or M: in the MAINTAINERS file.
