Praveen, I suggest using the same pattern (if you also like it, of course :-D). Using patch 1 as an example, that would mean the following: Subject: [PATCH 01/17] rb_tree: reorganize code in rb_erase() for additional changes First, move some code around in order to make the next change more obvious. [a...@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijls...@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Strepp <wstr...@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <a...@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org> [Linux commit 16c047add3ceaf0ab882e3e094d1ec904d02312d] Ported to Xen.
