Hm. The whole "On the other hand, due to".. felt a bit clunky from the start, maybe that's the problem? Is this better? Generally speaking, the patches get triaged quickly (in less than 48h). But be patient, if your patch is active in patchwork (i.e. it's listed on the project's patch list) the chances it was missed are close to zero. + +The high volume of development on netdev makes reviewers move on +from discussions relatively quickly.

If patch is +no longer active in patchwork and the thread went idle for more than +a week - clarify the next steps and/or post the next version.
