I suspect the mailing list limits the size, not patchwork. I did directly get "[PATCH 5/5] rtw88: 8822c: update phy parameter tables to v60" (Message-ID 20210113092312.13809-6-pkshih@realtek.com) as you added me to CC. But I don't see it in lore, which points that linux-wireless dropped it. Normally these huge patches would not be applied being to big, but updating parameter tables is a good exception to the rule and I can commit those manually directly from my INBOX. So for huge patches I recommend: * move the patch as the last patch in the patchset * the huge patch should only have changes to parameter variables, ie. refactor changes to the actual code to a separate patch * add kvalo@codeaurora.org to CC * add a big warning to the cover letter (or reply afterwards) so that I notice the huge patch is missing from patchwork Would this work? -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches

Many thanks. I would like to know if it is accepted to split the big one into two or more patches, like my v3? Or, I should recall v1 style when I submit v4? -- Ping-Ke

For me splitting the patch into smaller patches (which are visible in patchwork) is easier as then I don't need to do any manual work. When splitting patches just make sure that the requirement of every patch compiling without warnings is fulfilled. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
