Keep in mind that each patch should create an independent small functional change. This makes it easier to review the patch and verify that what you said you were going to do matches what the patch does. For example, if you separate out the style, whitespace, ordering of declarations into an initial first patch, then all that noise is removed when the reviewer goes to check to implementation of one of the features below. This is a large patch, and should most certainly be broken up into several smaller patches. Do cleanups first, followed by functional changes. This ordering ensure that when a "git blame" is used in the future to understand why a given line is what it is, the first hit will be a functional change, and not a cleanup. > --- > Changes since v1: > - Cosmetic style changes; whitespace, ordering of declarations and > #includes, remoted extra comas from sentinels Please make this a separate change, possibly more than one, depending on how many of these there are.

You can group related things together, or those that change the same line or function for example. Order them with cleanups / non-functional-changes first, followed by functional changes. > > Basically all of the above is based on the review by Andy Shevchenko. Andy, what was your intent for Lubomir here? From the above, this looks like it should be several patches to me.
