The file "linux/MAINTAINERS" shows that the tree "git://git.infradead.org/nvme.git" exists. Is that what I should use to make my changes or should I use the mainline tree "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git"? As long as your patch series is isolated to the nvme subsystem, you should develop nvme patches against the nvme tree, git.infradead.org/nvme.git, with the branch that targets the desired kernel release. Our branch naming convention is 'nvme-X.Y', where X.Y represent the targeted kernel version (currently nvme-5.13). New features should always be based on the newest kernel release target. Bug fixes may target the current RC kernel if we're outside the merge window. The 'master' branch is not our development branch, so don't use that for anything. > It is my understanding that patches should be submitted to this email list. Is that the only thing I need to do, or should I also submit a pull request? Don't send pull requests please. Just email the patches. There are various tools that can facilitate the process, but 'git format-patch' and 'git send-email' will ensure patches are sent correctly for mailing list consumption. _______________________________________________ Linux-nvme mailing list Linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-nvme
