Hi List,

I have a question when I try to apply kernel patches from mailing list. The question is how can I know it's parent so it can be apply without conflicts?

you can't, but this is not possible with patchset grabbing system, but its with gerrit code review. but if patch set [1/n] is there this is trivial to know from which to which you can apply it up. anyways its preferred to do patches on top of a maintainer's tree, so that the patches wont' get any conflicts.

-- Thanks, Chengwei
