B) for net subsystem, have 3 (have sent to relative members); C) for another: i) arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c:120, pr_warn("WARNING: dead process %8s still has LDT? <%p/%d>\n", dead_task->comm is 16 (TASK_COMM_LEN) ii) arch/blackfin/kernel/irqchip.c:52: seq_printf(p, " %8s", irq_desc_get_chip(desc)->name); name is not solid length, such as "tilegx_msi" in arch/tile/kernel/pci_gx.c 2) Next: A) It seems, it is only a start (If I am 'lucky' enough, maybe can find more). B) for these minor and trivial patches for various subsystems. C) have 3 sending ways: i) let each relative subsystem only has one patch which include all relative trivial modifications. ii) or gather them into one patch and send to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. iii) or each minor and trivial patch is an individual. 3) Suggestion: A) I prefer the first choice (let each subsystem only has one patch) B) I will do it according to the first choice, until get another suggestions. thanks. -- Chen Gang Asianux Corporation
