question about patch queue and ext4-git
Now in my mind there are several words for ext4 patches, most frequently one are "patch queue".
I see the patches in patch queue from
http://www2.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/ext4-patches/LATEST/broken-out/ . Also I confirm some of the patches are in ext4 git tree now, but I am not sure for two questions:
1) Whether all the patches are in ext4 git tree ?
2) This patch queue is only used to push ext4 patch into upstream ?
Also there is a patch-queue git at http://repo.or.cz/w/ext4-patch-queue.git , is it same to the patches in http://www2.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/ext4-patches/ ?
Thanks for clarifying :-)

Yes, all these patches should be in ext4 git tree.

The patch queue series is divided into stable and unstable patches. The stable patches are the one usually the ones used to push back upstream, while the unstable section has the patches for development purposes only and are not ready for pushing upstream (and some may never make it in).

Same thing bug in git format. I believe Ted updates his patch queue from the patches in the git tree repo, so if you want latest/greatest the git tree is what you want.

How to recognize which patch is stable patch and which one is unstable patch ?

Look in the series file. The mark where the stable patches end is documented there.

when a new ext4 patch is being submitted, it first added to the patch queue on repo.or.cz, where the whole series (stable and unstable patches) will be tested automatically. After the patches being stablized a bit, Ted will pull ext4 patches from patch queue from repo.or.cz to his git tree, and public the current patches in the git tree on kernel.org.
Also there is a stable-boundary patch being added in repo.or.cz patch queue to indicating where the unstable patches starts.
