Re: [PATCH] staging: Change kzalloc to kcalloc

[Chen Gang <gang.chen.5i5j@gmail.com>]

Excuse me, I did not see the patch details, but I guess it is about
whether welcome a new member to upstream kernel. For me, I have 3 ideas
about it if I am a newbie or a normal kernel developer:

 - Do I have enough basic skills for it?

    - Do I developed one or more another real world projects with C?
      (they are successful projects -- at least, not failure projects)

    - Can I construct related develop environments to support what I do?
      (e.g. building and testing for upstream kernel)

    - Am I familiar the basic working flow about kernel mailing list.
      (e.g. format-patch, sending patch, email client configuration...).

 - Do I have a correct attitude on it?

    - Am I careful enough?
      (e.g. if find some details may doubt, try to check and clear them)
      (it is always neccessary for all patches)

    - Am I try my best for it?
      (e.g. when finish coding, try what I can do: build, run and test).
      (it is neccessary for most cases)

    - Do I have negative effect with others?
      (e.g. discourage the newbies, or send spam to other members ...).
      (need always try to avoid)

 - Do I really love programming, also love open source kernel?

    - Do I love it, or I have to do it for another reason?
      (I guess, most of gmail members in open source, love programming).

    - Do I still love programming if I am discouraged by any members?

    - Do I still love open source kernel if discouraged by any members?


Thanks.
