Odd comment style (hint, you need a ' ' at the beginning...)

And why comment this at all?

comment is actually not required. thought it will be easier to understant the 
code if the return values can be see.
I will delete the comment and send it again.

This patch is much better and more interesting, but I still want some
more changes.

In the kernel we don't put code in until we are ready to use it.  Don't
worry about future changes.  But on the other hand, don't remove the
parameters in this patch because that is doing too many changes in one
patch.  It would have to be done in a follow on patch if you decide to
do it.

Just remove this function.  But mention it in the changelog in case
there are side effects.

> + /*visor_signal_insert() only return 0 or 1 */

Don't put obvious comments like this.  A normal reader will assume that
this function is boolean based on how it is used.

> + if (visor_signal_insert(queueinfo->chan, whichqueue, pSignal) == 1) {

Don't put the == 1.  In terms of English, 1 really is intended as
"success" and not the number one.  Also don't test for == true or
== false.

if (foo) {
if (foo == true) {

These two statement *mean* the same thing in terms of English, but the
first one is simpler and less wordy.

I will configure the corporate mail. I am the server admin , so there should
not be any problem in settings. :)

I have already sent v3 of the patch just before your mail , based on 
what greg k-h has suggested about the commnent. Please discard that.

Greg has a million emails in his inbox so you need to reply to the patch
itself if you want him to discard it.  If it's in a different thread he
can't keep track.

v4 of the patch was sent from the corporate mail. The settings were done.
But the problem is coming in a different area. I have given strict DMARC check 
for the corporate mail server. DMARC = domain based message authentication.
So the mail i sent reached all the list subscriber from a different server than 
our designated server , and as a result it has been marked as spam in many 
places.
I have already received a few complaints regarding that.
Is there any other way that i send the patch from my personal account , 
and use my corporate mail in Signed-off-by ...
