As of now, the latest linux-next > tree tag is still "next-20170210" linux-next is usually a day or so behind my tree, due to the time differences when it is created and why I usually do work. You can work off of my staging-next branch in my staging.git tree on git.kernel.org, that is the most up-to-date branch that ends up in linux-next. I also use staging-testing, to test things, but I would not recommend that for you as it can be rebased and would be a pain to work against. It's ok that conflicts happen, that's how kernel development works, sometimes people send in the same change minutes from each other, so I have to take the one that was sent first. It's ok, just move on and work on something else if you really want to. > I am on eudyptula challenge and this is my first attempt to send > kernel patch, sorry about the silly question ;) It's not silly, it comes up all the time. good luck! greg k-h
