From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> After this patch, a new meta-tag will be added, to give a hint about the priority: low - patches that add new drivers that aren't ready for kernel, but it would be interesting to be at the main tree; normal - Patches that will be merged on the next merge window; high - Bug fixes Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>

2008-06-29README.patches Add a new practice accepted on kernelMauro Carvalho Chehab
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> On Jun 3, kernel commit adbd5886da5f467148b26cca3728ab0e672b3fcc added a new rule to help patch merging from maintainers, at Documentation/SubmittingPatches: "If you are a subsystem or branch maintainer, sometimes you need to slightly modify patches you receive in order to merge them, because the code is not exactly the same in your tree and the submitters'. If you stick strictly to rule (c), you should ask the submitter to rediff, but this is a totally counter-productive waste of time and energy. Rule (b) allows you to adjust the code, but then it is very impolite to change one submitter's code and make him endorse your bugs. To solve this problem, it is recommended that you add a line between the last Signed-off-by header and yours, indicating the nature of your changes. While there is nothing mandatory about this, it seems like prepending the description with your mail and/or name, all enclosed in square brackets, is noticeable enough to make it obvious that you are responsible for last-minute changes. Example : Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org> [lucky@maintainer.example.org: struct foo moved from foo.c to foo.h] Signed-off-by: Lucky K Maintainer <lucky@maintainer.example.org> This practise is particularly helpful if you maintain a stable branch and want at the same time to credit the author, track changes, merge the fix, and protect the submitter from complaints. Note that under no circumstances can you change the author's identity (the From header), as it is the one which appears in the changelog." This patch adds a quick description at this rule under README.patches. This is particularly important when merging mercurial tree with -git one.

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> The usage of scripts/checkpatch.pl were already documented at SubmittingPatches[1], since June, 1st.

2007-07-30Updates submission best practicesMauro Carvalho Chehab
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> It is wise to send a patch to the low-level driver maintainer or to the subsystem maintainer, c/c the mailing list. This is a common practice at Linux community. Otherwise, it risks that the patch may stay forever at the mailing lists. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
