Please, Not attach your patch but inline one. Many people want to add their comments to line-by-line. Tip - If you use gmail with web, your patch is mangled by web server. That will hurt maintainers. Documentation/email-clients.txt can help you. :) On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 8:32 AM, Thomas Gleixner wrote: > GeunSik, > > On Tue, 7 Apr 2009, GeunSik Lim wrote: > >> Sorry, >> I mistake because I don't understand how to submit patch exactly. > > To submit a patch you need to have: > > 1) useful subject line > >   [PATCH] subsystem: what does the patch do > >   subsystem in your care is: ftrace > > 2) useful patch description > >   explains what the patch does.
