In case I have submitted a patch and some mistakes were pointed what is the right way of submitting a corrected version? I basically have 2 questions related to patch re-submit. 1. Is it appropriate to submit a new patch starting a new thread or it's required to reply to one of the message in the old patch's thread to preserve a reference to the old one?
New thread is usually fine, but if you want you can do it in the old thread, your choice.
2. In case the discussion of the patch ended up in patch redesign is it required to put a version when resubmitting?
Yes.
For example the initial patch was [PATCH] sub/sys: summary. Should v2 be placed in the description of the new patch like [PATCH v2] sub/sys: completely different summary due to redesign?
Yes. And properly document your changes below the --- line as the documentation asks for. hope this helps, greg k-h
