So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Then save this file for future reference.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in TO: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

	Having it online doesn't prevent you from posting is to lkml from times to

Most of this job is now done (very well) by akpm, although I do
occasionally still pick up stray bits that get lost.

You could also add me for AGPGART & CPUFREQ maintainence.

Isn't this exactly what MAINTAINERS is for? What is the point of
having this lk-maintainers list if MAINTAINERS is supposed to be
authoritative?

It seems like this adds more confusion then anything else, since
now it's not obvious what should be considered the defacto standard
maintainer list.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

------- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

	Do not send anything to me unless it is for 2.5, well tested,

	In general it is a bad idea to send me small fixes and driver

	"small stuff" integrator (currently Dave Jones <davej@suse.de>,
	see his entry). Sorry, I can't do everything.

Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo@conectiva.com.br> [5 feb 2002]

------- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

Bart is doing the really fundamental stuff with the taskfiles - the

This document is mailed to lkml regularly and will be modified
whenever new victim wishes to be listed in it or someone can
no longer devote his time to maintainer work.

If you want your entry added/updated/removed, contact me.

BTW, requests to move your entry to the top of the list
without actually changing the text are fine too: that
will indicate that entry is not outdated, so don't be shy ;-)

------- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

This document is mailed to lkml regularly and will be modified
whenever new victim wishes to be listed in it or someone can
no longer devote his time to maintainer work.

If you want your entry added/updated/removed, contact me.

BTW, requests to move your entry to the top of the list
without actually changing the text are fine too: that
will indicate that entry is not outdated, so don't be shy ;-)

------- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

	Do not send anything to me unless it is for 2.5, well tested,

	In general it is a bad idea to send me small fixes and driver
	updates, send them to subsystem maintainers and/or
	"small stuff" integrator (currently Dave Jones <davej@suse.de>,
	see his entry). Sorry, I can't do everything.

Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo@conectiva.com.br> [5 feb 2002]
	Do not send anything to me unless it is for 2.4 and well tested.
	If you are sending me small fixes and driver updates, send

This document is mailed to lkml regularly and will be modified
whenever new victim wishes to be listed in it or someone can
no longer devote his time to maintainer work.

If you want your entry added/updated/removed, contact me.

BTW, requests to move your entry to the top of the list
without actually changing the text are fine too: that
will indicate that entry is not outdated, so don't be shy ;-)

------- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of
 people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

This document is mailed to lkml regularly and will be modified
whenever new victim wishes to be listed in it or someone can
no longer devote his time to maintainer work.

If you want your entry added/updated/removed, contact me.

BTW, requests to move your entry to the top of the list
without actually changing the text are fine too: that
will indicate that entry is not outdated, so don't be shy ;-)

------- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of
 people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

This document is mailed to lkml regularly and will be modified
whenever new victim wishes to be listed in it or someone can
no longer devote his time to maintainer work.

If you want your entry added/updated/removed, contact me.

BTW, requests to move your entry to the top of the list
without actually changing the text are fine too: that
will indicate that entry is not outdated, so don't be shy ;-)

------- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of
 people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

Is there any value in keeping information that's no longer true?
I would have thought the credits file was a better place for historical

It is suppsed to be accurate. That is why there are timestamps.

It was true as of 11 March 2002 ;)

If it's supposed to be current information and to be used by bug
reporters, then by all means, chop away ;)

Please leave as a reminder to me and anyone else about what can happen if
civility (sp) is lost.

He had good intentions, and was as bull-headed as me.
What one admires and hates in the same thought.
I wish I had time to look at what he did, and invite him back to express
his ideas again for the next round in 2.7.  It would be foolish to not
consider some of the changes and ideas as positive.

The difference is the knowledge base, and having proven in the past it can
be done, but the rules are freaking ugly.

And they just got worse!

One of the issues we will now be faced once the chipsets are fully modular
is the issue of OEMS refusing to continue to open spec their hardware.
This is the gamble Linux took, lets hope I and others managed to make a
big enough cannon ball splash to scare them into not going down that path.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of
	"grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops (or use 2.5 with kksymoops enabled ;).
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of
 people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops.
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

Ug. That email address doesn't work anymore. Use

jsimmons@infradead.org

Also subsystems is spelled wrong. My mistake.

This document is mailed to lkml regularly and will be modified
whenever new victim wishes to be listed in it or someone can
no longer devote his time to maintainer work.

If you want your entry added/updated/removed, contact me.

BTW, requests to move your entry to the top of the list
without actually changing the text are fine too: that
will indicate that entry is not outdated, so don't be shy ;-)

BTW, copy of this list at kernelnewbies is outdated.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops.
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops.
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

Martin resigned, his IDE changes were reverted. Given the headache and
abuse he went through, I doubt he wants to be bothered about IDE
anymore even to update his entry. Please, just update the entry to
reflect reality so bug reports get to where they need to and let's
move on.

This document is mailed to lkml regularly and will be modified
whenever new victim wishes to be listed in it or someone can
no longer devote his time to maintainer work.

If you want your entry added/updated/removed, contact me.
BTW, requests to move your entry to the top of the list
without actually changing the text are fine too: that
will indicate that entry is not outdated, so don't be shy ;-)

------- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
*** Remember: bad/incomplete bug report ONLY wastes bandwidth! ***
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
	Anybody who has written software for public use will
	probably have received at least one bad bug report.
	Reports that say nothing ("It doesn't work!");
	reports that make no sense; reports that don't give
	enough information; reports that give wrong information.
How to Report Bugs Effectively:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
	Before asking a technical question by email, or in
	a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
	* Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
	* Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
	* Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
	* Try to find an answer by reading the source code.
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops.
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

This document is mailed to lkml regularly and will be modified
whenever new victim wishes to be listed in it or someone can
no longer devote his time to maintainer work.

If you want your entry added/updated/removed, contact me.
BTW, requests to move your entry to the top of the list
without actually changing the text are fine too: that
will indicate that entry is not outdated, so don't be shy ;-)

------- cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Then save this file for future reference.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Then save this file for future reference.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Then save this file for future reference.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Then save this file for future reference.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Then save this file for future reference.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops.
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part.
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Then save this file for future reference.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Then save this file for future reference.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in To: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

no longer devote his time to maintainer work.

If you want your entry added/updated/removed, contact me.

So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report or a patch but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Then save this file for future reference.

Preparing bug report:
=====================
Compile problems: report GCC output and result of "grep '^CONFIG_' .config"
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
Yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested,
which is easy to get wrong. I've done that too often.

More info in the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first.
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
  and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
  maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* It never hurts to CC: Linux kernel mailing list, but without specific
  maintainer address in TO: field there is high probability that your
  patch won't be noticed. You have been warned.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
  and isn't useful at all. It's a spam.
* Do NOT send small fixes to Linus, he just can't handle _everything_.
  He will eventually receive it from maintainers/integrators, send it
  their way.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
  to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
  expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.

That is fine.

Given unexpected amount of similar requests, I will set up a cron job which 
will automatically check and upload new version of lk miantainers list to 
anybody interested.

Just tell me how to upload the list to your site. Preferebly in a form:

------------
Hi Denis,
you may upload your list to my site as follows:

# <upload_tool> upload lk-maintainers.txt <address>...
BTW, I tested <upload_tool> and it works (version x.y.z)

# wget lk-maintainers.txt <address>....
works too, if you need it.
