My understanding is as follows:
Basically every patch file need base on the latest commit, so need merge all changes which have already been applied into mainline,
No only mbuf related change and mergeable feature but also other fix.
"git fetch" and "git pull origin master" may help you, 
If there are conflicts, need resolve them.

And you don't need redo all works from scratch to regenerate the patch files, 
Maybe based on your current commit and do the merge work and resolve some conflicts are the most rework task.
