Hi,
This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman. You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response. He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created. Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.
You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:
- Your patch did many different things all at once, making it difficult
to review. All Linux kernel patches need to only do one thing at a
time. If you need to do multiple things (such as clean up all coding
style issues in a file/driver), do it in a sequence of patches, each
one doing only one thing. This will make it easier to review the
patches to ensure that they are correct, and to help alleviate any
merge issues that larger patches can cause.
- This looks like a new version of a previously submitted patch, but you
did not list below the --- line any changes from the previous version.
Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the
kernel file, Documentation/SubmittingPatches for what needs to be done
here to properly describe this.
If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.
thanks,
greg k-h's patch email bot
Hey,
I made a really simple patch fixing coding style errors.
Could you please review it, and tell me how to prevent errors like this:
> - Your patch did many different things all at once, making it
> difficult to review.
from happening in the future.
Should i split changes into 2 patches? One for upper half and one for
lower half of the file I changed?
Many lines have multiple errors, so if I fix one error, I also need to
fix the other one. So I can not just have patch fixing one thing at the
time. Should I try to fix error in this manner:
[PATCH 1/3] fix lines that have ONLY spaces to tabs error
[PATCH 2/3] fix lines that have ONLY braces error
[PATCH 3/3] fix lines that have spaces to tabs error AND braces error
or should I have a different approach?
Sorry for bothering, this is my first time submitting patches.
Thanks in advance,
Aleksa

One patch per type of logical change is recommended, the location in the
file does not matter.

That's not a problem, and is not why your previous patches were
rejected. Your previous patches were rejected as in your attempts to
fix coding style issues you added new ones.

Look at the examples on the staging mailing list for how to do this
well. There are thousands of examples of "do only one type of change
per patch" out there. To ignore the work others have done is odd.

Please start out by working in the drivers/staging/ part of the kernel
when learning how to do development, as that is explicitly what that
part of the kernel is for, and it keeps other maintainers from being
bothered by basic functionality and procedural issues like this.
