Subject: Submitting patches

I recently joined this list (in the last few days) as I was told I
needed to join it to submit kernel changes/patches/modifications. How do
I go about doing so? I made some optimizations (mostly removing
un-necessary calls, etc) in the autogroup scheduler, and cpuset and
another. The website that manages the list is not very informative so I
hope I am doing this right. Thanks in Advance!

You do not have to join this mailing list to submit patches, but you
may find it helpful.

We hope that what you need to know is covered in some documentation
files in the kernel source tree, primarily:

Documentation/SumbittingPatches
Documentation/SubmittingDrivers
Documentation/SubmitChecklist

If you still have questions after reading those, please let us know.
