Hi @g4s8! Thanks for your contribution to the Linux kernel! Linux kernel development happens on mailing lists, rather than on GitHub - this GitHub repository is a read-only mirror that isn't used for accepting contributions. So that your change can become part of Linux, please email it to us as a patch. Sending patches isn't quite as simple as sending a pull request, but fortunately it is a well documented process. Here's what to do:
How do I format my contribution?The Linux kernel community is notoriously picky about how contributions are formatted and sent. Fortunately, they have documented their expectations. Firstly, all contributions need to be formatted as patches. A patch is a plain text document showing the change you want to make to the code, and documenting why it is a good idea. You can create patches with Secondly, patches need 'commit messages', which is the human-friendly documentation explaining what the change is and why it's necessary. Thirdly, changes have some technical requirements. There is a Linux kernel coding style, and there are licensing requirements you need to comply with. Both of these are documented in the Submitting Patches documentation that is part of the kernel. Note that you will almost certainly have to modify your existing git commits to satisfy these requirements. Don't worry: there are many guides on the internet for doing this. Where do I send my contribution?The Linux kernel is composed of a number of subsystems. These subsystems are maintained by different people, and have different mailing lists where they discuss proposed changes. If you don't already know what subsystem your change belongs to, the
Make sure that your list of recipients includes a mailing list. If you can't find a more specific mailing list, then LKML - the Linux Kernel Mailing List - is the place to send your patches. It's not usually necessary to subscribe to the mailing list before you send the patches, but if you're interested in kernel development, subscribing to a subsystem mailing list is a good idea. (At this point, you probably don't need to subscribe to LKML - it is a very high traffic list with about a thousand messages per day, which is often not useful for beginners.) How do I send my contribution?Use For more information about using How do I get help if I'm stuck?Firstly, don't get discouraged! There are an enormous number of resources on the internet, and many kernel developers who would like to see you succeed. Many issues - especially about how to use certain tools - can be resolved by using your favourite internet search engine. If you can't find an answer, there are a few places you can turn:
If you get really, really stuck, you could try the owners of this bot, @daxtens and @ajdlinux. Please be aware that we do have full-time jobs, so we are almost certainly the slowest way to get answers! I sent my patch - now what?You wait. You can check that your email has been received by checking the mailing list archives for the mailing list you sent your patch to. Messages may not be received instantly, so be patient. Kernel developers are generally very busy people, so it may take a few weeks before your patch is looked at. Then, you keep waiting. Three things may happen:

Please do not spam under repositories. while russia is aggressing against Ukraine - russians should get what they deserve. If russia stops, there will be no war. The reactions under this post just confirm that russians who support the war have nothing to do in the free world. I fully support Torvalds' position. |
|
Will maintainers from Israel or Palestine be banned? |
|
even windows did not do what torvalds did |
|
In fact, I share the point of view of Linus Torvalds. We should resume the practice of measuring skulls in order to purge the Maintainer race of those we don't like. And send the rest to Madagascar, if you know what I mean |
If Ukraine stops, the whole world will help it. If Donbass stops, people will be hanged from the first pillar. |
Who can approve which world is free and which not so? Do they all these thousands Ukrainians who FORCED to go to army after human-catchers got them on streets and push them into battle zone? |
If you want an independent opinion on whether people of Donbas were hanged, ask how was life between 2014-2022 the residents of Mariupol who survived, the residents of Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, Pokrovsk, who were ffree to elect pro-Russian politicians to the Verkhovna Rada. In the local governments, everyone spoke Russian, and this is a fact, even today many people speak Russian, and what? They are being killed, harassed, even after a full-scale Russian invasion? Personally know people who speak russian in west Ukraine and its... no problem for them |
I am from Donetsk myself and I perfectly remember the news on state channels that there were only terrorists in the Donbas, which means that you just need to kill all those who remain there. I remember how a Ukrainian tank that broke through shot a high-rise building for fun. How they laughed at the children who died from the arrival of a shell in the city center. Are you serious? |

Against politics in open source = war supporter? Big brain logic.
Yeah, blood for blood, collective responsibility - this will make the world better, surely. |
|
Please change the title, you are too specific for this project. Now it is called "various compliance requirements". |
|
Doesn't the United States have wars? Why didn't the United States remove American citizens from the Linux maintainer status when it was fighting in Iraq and the Middle East? The original 'open source without borders' was just a joke. This is not the first time that open source projects have discriminated based on race or country. I am just interpreting it from a neutral perspective. You can have prejudiced views on a country or a person, but you cannot do this with open source projects. |
并不是战争对错的问题好吧 |
|
How does that Russian govt paycheck taste? |
听不懂 |
Why didn’t I see the money Putin transferred to my ICBC account? By the way, if we need to remove Russian contributors, then remove Israeli ones as well🤣👉. |
well cns dont know their idioms |
emmmm.......... |
If Canada joined the the Soviet Union last century, what will America do? |
America will collapse anyways |
People with first letter A, B or L in first name are no longer needed as maintainers.
