Something (protonmail?) split some lines of your patch so that it
cannot be applied:

patch: **** malformed patch at line 24: tials:

See https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20260506054914.162806-1-drapl0n@protonmail.com/raw

You can see if Documentation/process/email-clients.rst can help you any,
or just do an web search for using Proton mail to send plain text patches,
but using Proton might be difficult (IDK).

The change itself looks good - if you can find a good way to email it.

thanks.

In the future, right here, after that "---" line, it should say
something like

v2: use 'git send-email' so that that patch isn't corrupted

and in the Subject: it should say
[PATCH v2] ...

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback and acknowledgment. I thought that since my
earlier patch was invalid/corrupted, I should submit a new one rather than
version 2.

I understand the procedure now and will ensure that future revisions follow
the guidelines.

Thanks.

Along those lines, seeing multiple names associated with the same email
account is a bit disconcerting.  We are not generally interested in
taking patches submitted under pseudonyms...

While configuring mutt, I forgot to change the default placeholder value
for the "realname" variable, resulting in an inconsistent sender name.

I have corrected the configuration and verified that my environment is
now set up appropriately.

Sorry for the confusion.
