To be clear - this is a v3 but with removed previous history...

Previous version:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251217102357.1730573-2-wangyushan12@huawei.com/

Or even v4?

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250122065803.3363926-2-wangyushan12@huawei.com/

Yushan, please start versioning your patches correctly. Use b4 or git
format-patch -vx

Otherwise, please explain us how can we compare it with `b4 diff` with
previous version?

Sending something AGAIN as v1 ignoring entire previous submission is
clear no go. Like you are trying till it succeeds. Negative review?
Let's try from v1 this time...

This is not correct and it should not be my task to find your previous
discussions and decipher this v1.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
