You've sent this three times now.  It should have been

Here, below the "---" line then put.

v2:  (I have no idea what changed).

Remove the spaces, but leave the blank line.  Locks are important so
the original author wanted it to stand out.

Could you make it so the 'K' and the '"' line up?

                                printk(KERN_WARNING
                                       "Partial copy to userspace\n");
Actually these days we prefer dev_warn() to printk() but I'm not
sure which device struct you can use here.  Or you could use
pr_warn().

But actually these messages are for debugging.  Normally we don't
want to print an error when copy_to_user() fails...  Eventually
we're just going to delete them.

Btw, you are rushing too much.  Wait for overnight before sending
patches.  The next day you can review it and re-read the changelog
with fresh eyes.  Otherwise, you make silly mistakes like typos in
your email address.
