Re: [PATCH trivial] block/ioctl.c: let code match 'kernel code style'

[Chen Gang <gang.chen@asianux.com>]

It seems necessary to explain my goal (why I intended to send this patch).

1. support the 'work' of Joe and trivial@kernel.org.

   in my opinion, 'trivial'  means none-urgent, but it also means important.
     (if both none-urgent and none-important, why need it?)

   so I intend to send 1 or 2 trivial patches per month to express my opinion and support their 'work'.

2. I have planned to provide some contributes to block sub-system in 2nd half of 2013.

   I have mentioned about it in my some original discussions (if necessary, I will provide the proof).
   but at least now, I have done nothing for block sub system.
   it is time to do something for it.

3. avoid the misunderstanding of the other related discussion in kernel mailing list.

   the discussion is about whether need "#ifdef" for a patch.
   maybe some members (e.g. Guenter) misunderstand me: "I do not care about the code style".
     (it is only my 'guess', may he does not misunderstand, and this patch wants to make it clear).


BTW:

  at least for me, I don't think "more patches is more contributions".
  but it is true that I am trying to send more patches and get more discussions in kernel mailing list.
  and I am (should be) also trying to avoid send waste mails to kernel mailing list.


Welcome any additional suggestions or completions.

Thanks.
