Unfortunately many patch submissions are arriving with painfully poor
patch descriptions. As a result of the discussion on LKML:http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/15/296
explain how to submit a better patch description, in the (perhaps
vain) hope that maintainers won't end up having to rewrite the git
commit logs as often as they do today.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files,
and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the
email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needsThis patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
(as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
or not sending patches on a frequent basis.Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker

This version brings a number of new checks, fixes for flase
positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use. Of
note:- checks for documentation for new __setup calls
- clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved
- reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing
- reports on unwanted externsThis patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl
itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it
is not intended as the final arbitor of style.Full changelog:
Andy Whitcroft (19):
Version: 0.07
ensure we do not apply control brace checks to preprocesor directives
add {u,s}{8,16,32,64} to the type matcher
accept lack of spacing after the semicolons in for (;;)
report new externs in .c files
fix up typedef exclusion for function prototypes
else trailing statements check need to account for \ at end of line
add enums to the type matcher
add missing check descriptions
suppress double reporting of ** spacing
report on do{ spacing issues
include an example of the brace/parenthesis in output
check for spacing after closing braces
prevent double reports on pointer spacing issues
handle blank continuation lines on macros
classify all reports error, warning, or check
revamp hanging { checks and apply in context
no spaces after the last ; in a for is ok
check __setup has a corresponding addition to documentationDavid Woodhouse (1):

We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft
