Ok, 374 patches is just rediculious. So many patches eats up an enormous amount of mailing list resources, and for these patches in particular there are few reasons to split them up at all. The fact that the split up landed you at 300+ patches is a very good indication of that.

More than ridiculous. Completely agree. I tried to send 1 patch over the last couple of days. Unfortunately, it's > 100KB and disappears into the void. How about 10 patches or so? What about maintainer sign offs? Personally, I don't think it's necessary, but for the subsystem maintainers like you, if or when the get_maintainers.pl get integrated into patch generation mechanisms, you might get more emails. Perhaps more than you want. Suggestions? One good thing by emailing all the listed maintainers, I've gotten several bounces for invalid addresses.

So put it on anonftp/webpage/git tree and post the URI, damnit. Of all ridiculous reasons for a mailbomb...

The posting limit is 400K for linux-kernel, netdev, and one or two of the other lists.

Apologies. Posted it twice over 2 days. Anyway, I supposed you could kill the spool entries if you want. cheers, Joe

Actually, I can see 546 patches up to now. Horrid. Besides that, it's very unfortunate that every single mail of this ridiculously huuuuge patch series starts a new thread (no 'References' or 'In-Reply-To' header), so it's not possible to nuke it at once in an usual way. -- Jiri Kosina

Or make it 3 or 4 or even 40 patches, but not 500. Hans
