It tells the reader at a high level what the patch series is doing as a whole, how it is doing it, and why it is doing it that way.

Hi Manish, Your patch series header is "Incorporated all required changes", could you update this to something more descriptive?

This subject shall describe what the patch series is about, in much the same style as a normal commit, using appropriate subsystem prefixes and so on. The commit message body must describe what the patch series is doing, how it is doing it, and why it is doing it that way.
[PATCH net-next v6 0/3] Incorporated all required changes
Hi everyone, Modified the netronome drivers (flower action) to use the VLAN helper functions instead of dereferencing the structure directly. This is required for the VLAN action patch. Could you please review? Here're the changes: v2: Fixed all helper functions to use RCU (rtnl_dereference) - Eric, Jamal v2: Fixed indentation, extra line nits - Jamal, Jiri v2: Moved rcu_head to the end of the struct - Jiri v2: Re-formatted locals to reverse-christmas-tree - Jiri v2: Removed mismatched spin_lock() - Cong v2: Removed spin_lock_bh() in tcf_vlan_init, rtnl_dereference() should suffice - Cong, Jiri v4: Modified the nfp flower action code to use the VLAN helper functions instead of referencing the structure directly. Isolated this into a separate patch - Pieter Jansen v5: Got rid of the unlikely() for the allocation case - Simon Horman v6: Added cleanup functions for RCU alloc - Dave Miller Acked-by: Jamal Hadi SalimAcked-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Manish Kurup Manish Kurup (3): act_vlan: Change stats update to use per-core stats nfp flower action: Modified to use VLAN helper functions act_vlan: VLAN action rewrite to use RCU lock/unlock and update drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/flower/action.c | 5 +- include/net/tc_act/tc_vlan.h | 46 +--- net/sched/act_vlan.c | 81 +++--- 3 files changed, 94 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4
