If you're prepared to do that then thanks, and please remember to add your Tested-by where you feel that's appropriate. > if you do want me to send the patches however I assume there is a document > i should read first? Documentation/SubmittingPatches is good. These patches should have a From: line at the start of the changelog indicating the original author. They should have the original author's Signed-off-by: (if that was in the original patch) and also your Signed-off-by: as you were on the delivery path. And optionally your Tested-by, as above. Be sure to cc everyone (ocfs2-devel, linux-kernel, Mark, Joel, myself and the original author(s). Lots of email clients like to mangle patches, including gmail :( Email the patchset to yourself first and check that what you received still applies. Try using text/plain attachments if they are being mangled. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
