It might happen, that command when run on an older kernel, gives you outdated entries. Therefore please be sure you base your patches on recent Linux kernel. Tools like b4 or scripts/get_maintainer.pl provide you proper list of people, so fix your workflow. Tools might also fail if you work on some ancient tree (don't, instead use mainline) or work on fork of kernel (don't, instead use mainline). Just use b4 and everything should be fine, although remember about `b4 prep --auto-to-cc` if you added new patches to the patchset. </form letter> You already got this comment, so how many times it has to be repeated?

What is a subsystem? With commit msg I still do not understand this. Maybe presence of hwlock defines it anyway, so this is redundant? Best regards, Krzysztof
