Please don't combine patches for multiple subsystems into a single series if there's no dependencies between them, it just creates confusion about how things get merged, problems for tooling and makes everything more noisy. It's best to split things up per subsystem in that case.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark

Anything which a subsystem maintainer merges will be reported by Stephen and I'll drop that particular patch. This way, nothing gets lost. I take this approach often and it works. If these were sent as a bunch of individual patches then it would be up to the sender to keep track of what has been merged and what hasn't. That person will be resending some stragglers many times. Until they give up and some patches get permanently lost. Scale all that across many senders and the whole process becomes costly and unreliable. Whereas centralizing it on akpm is more efficient, more reliable, more scalable, lower latency and less frustrating for senders.

I've only started seeing these in the past few weeks, but we do have a bunch of people routinely doing cross tree stuff who split things up and it seems to work OK there. > If these were sent as a bunch of individual patches then it would be up > to the sender to keep track of what has been merged and what hasn't. > That person will be resending some stragglers many times. Until they > give up and some patches get permanently lost. Surely the sender can just CC you on each individual thing just as well? Ensuring things get picked up is great, but it's not clear to me that copying everyone on a cross tree series is helping with that. > Scale all that across many senders and the whole process becomes costly > and unreliable.

Whereas copying everyone means all the maintainers see something that looks terribly complicated in their inboxes and have to figure out if there are actually any dependencies in the series and how it's supposed to be handed, and then every reply goes to a huge CC list. That's not good for either getting people to look at things or general noise avoidance, especially for people who are expecting to get cross tree serieses which do have dependencies that need to be managed. There's also some bad failure modes as soon as anyone has any sort of comment on the series, suddenly everyone's got a coding style debate or whatever in their inboxes they can pile into.
This is the second series (part 1*) that converts users of msecs_to_jiffies() that either use the multiply pattern of either of: - msecs_to_jiffies(N*1000) or - msecs_to_jiffies(N*MSEC_PER_SEC) where N is a constant or an expression, to avoid the multiplication. The conversion is made with Coccinelle with the secs_to_jiffies() script in scripts/coccinelle/misc. Attention is paid to what the best change can be rather than restricting to what the tool provides. Andrew has kindly agreed to take the series through mm.git modulo the patches maintainers want to pick through their own trees.
