I just want to make sure that I understand the process correctly:

For example, take kalloc(). If I find instances that that the return
value is not checked (and I have) i.e. they call kalloc() and
automatically assume success and dereference the allocated memory
without checking for NULL. I would insert to proper error checking,
create the patch and mail the patch to kernel-janitors@lists.osdl.org?

Is this the process?

Thanks.
