Hi Shaikh,

I'm assuming you're fairly new to the kernel so some feedback here, as
there's quite a bit wrong with these patches.

Firstly, please check MAINTAINERS to ensure you have the right email addresses.

Also please don't send mm patches in-reply-to another series, send them as
separate series.

Send patch series such that they're in-reply-to the cover letter. Do not
send a cover letter if there's only one patch in the series.

Do not send follow up series in-reply-to the previous version. Send a new
patch or patch series.

If you get an issue like a build failure, do not reply-to the patch that
failed with a fix, instead send a new version of that patch with the fix.

When you fix things, add a brief changelog under the '---' line if a single
patch, or at the bottom before the diffstat if a cover letter. Ideally with
lore links to previous versions.

For patch series use:

$ git format-patch --cover-letter --thread FIRST_PATCH_HASH~1

For v2, v3 etc. use:

$ git format-patch -v2 --cover-letter --thread FIRST_PATCH_HASH~1
$ git format-patch -v3 --cover-letter --thread FIRST_PATCH_HASH~1
etc.
