Thanks, you're welcome! No need to worry. And sorry if my previous reply
was a bit straightforward. I was a bit out of form this afternoon. :)

Unfortunately, your actual patches of v2 this time were not sent as
replies to the cover letter. Usually, your actual patch, let's say
[2/4], should have a 'In-Reply-To' email header that points to the
Message-ID of your cover letter [0/4]. But now they do not have that
header, therefore not in a thread. See also:

  https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#explicit-in-reply-to-headers
  https://docs.kernel.org/translations/zh_CN/process/submitting-patches.html#in-reply-to

If you were using 'git format-patch' and 'git send-email', that should
work well as expected. What did you use to send patches? Is it QQMail
web page? I suspect it would damage the process of sending patches. (But
it seems that your [1/4] can be applied successfully with 'b4 shazam',
so anyway) I had heard before that using QQ email might cause problems,
but I wasn't quite sure either. You may want to take a look at 'git
send-email' or b4.

I'm not familiar with this part, so please wait for others to review.
;-) I suggest that sending out your v3 after receiving some comments,
so you don't need to reroll too often beacause of this format issues.
(But if they want you to tidy it up, that's fine too.)

Yup, the process is not that easy to get familiar with at once. But
please don't be discouraged. If still meet any problems, please feel
free to let me know.

Thanks. The usual practice is to write it as "Yuehua Meng" in your
From and Signed-off-by. But since I can tell that it's a known identity,
I guess it's fine unless later asked. Or perhaps this is just your
original intention. ;-)

Thanks.
