Which linux kernel version should I choose?
Hi, I am interested in the rust for Linux project and want to learn about it. But I have encountered some problems with the Linux kernel version.
I want to apply the patchset v2 given in the mail list. I found that the patchset v1 can be applied to Linux kernel v5.13. However, I do not find the correct Linux kernel version for the rust patchset v2. Where can I find this information?
Meanwhile, I wonder whether I can generate a patchset by myself so that I can apply it to a specific kernel version I want. I tried to google this but did not find anything related.
I want to join the Zulip group. My email address is [email protected].
Thanks.

You can perhaps start by following the instructions on Github.
See https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/blob/rust/README.md.
Thanks,
Wei.

BTW your email here should be [email protected], right? That's the address in the From: field of your email.

Hi Wei Liu,
Thanks for your help sincerely. I tried to reply to you the day before yesterday. But it seems something goes wrong. The reply email did not show in the kernel email list. I am not sure whether you receive my reply. So I resend this email. If this bothers you, please do let me know.
No worries. I did get your original reply.
I'm not bothered. There is no need to apologize.
Wei.

It should apply cleanly to v5.16-rc3. However, for normal development, I suggest you simply fetch the GitHub repo instead. It gets updated with mainline changes regularly (e.g. when I notice a conflict).

You can, of course, apply the patchset to any version you want, but then you will have to take care of solving any conflicts etc. on your own.

Do you want it to this one, or the From address? As Wei noticed, they are different.
Cheers,
