Tom, even if the patches are sort of independent, they logically
belong together.
So please number them, and provide an appropriate "[PATCH 0/N] ..."
cover letter.
Please resubmit these patches with that done properly, thank you.
Ok. Will do.
Also, it would be really nice if you could send patches as
Doc/net/netdev-FAQ.txt suggests, as lots of us have scripts that parse the
subject to find out which tree to apply/test the patches.
It's also easier than using git notes edit/git send-email --notes :).
Q: How do I indicate which tree (net vs. net-next) my patch should be in?
A: Firstly, think whether you have a bug fix or new "next-like" content.
Then once decided, assuming that you use git, use the prefix flag, i.e.
git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH net-next' start..finish
Use "net" instead of "net-next" (always lower case) in the above for
bug-fix net content. If you don't use git, then note the only magic in
the above is just the subject text of the outgoing e-mail, and you can
manually change it yourself with whatever MUA you are comfortable with.
Thanks.
Tom
