In linux kernel mail list, I often see such string in mail subject:
[PATCH V3 3/3]
or
[PATCH 0/8]
What's meaning of "V3", "3/3" and "0/8"?

Hi Wuzhouhui,
The 0/8 is the number of the patch in a series (0 for the patch that
explains the whole series, in a series of 8 patches).
V3 is the version of the series, when it is not accepted as-is and needs
rework according to the feedback gathered.
Regards,
Hubert Chaumette

As I understand it, the 0/8, 2/3, 3/5, 4/4 indicate the patch in the
message is part of a sequence of related patches. So 3/5 means that is
patch three of six related patches (patch 0 is usually the patch that
contains the details about what the patches do) that belong together.
The V1, V2, V3 etc usually indicates the patch set is a revision,
often times due to some part of the patch being either rejected, or in
the case of experimental patches, an updated patch set that supersedes
and earlier one.
