Posting them in a series is fine; it is customary to put independent things first such that they will not get stuck after the larger changes. > In the first case, what is the correct authorship / SOB chain (I ask > because I keep getting this wrong every time :) Yes, this is a 'fun' case :-) I'd just merge the change into your patch introducing it and forget I 'contributed' the name change. For larger patches you could do something like (in your email body): From: Peter Zijlstra Changelog goes here... Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: Luca... --- $PATCH Which says this patch is from me, carried by you, and then I'll stick another SoB on to indicated I took it back. Its a bit weird, but we've done it before.
