Re: Need Info about Adding new Kernel Module source code to Linux Kernel Tree

Hi Sahana

> 2.      I read somewhere that GIT is the revision control system used by Linux Driver Developers. How to add our driver source code to GIT repository?  I assume there is some strict validation involved as non-working or improperly validated source code should not be added to the kernel source. So, what is the validation and approval process involved?

If you are not already using Git you can find some details on its
installation and use targeted particularly at kernel developers here:

http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html

In addition to Greg's suggestions you will also want to read through
the Documentation/development-process/ files in the kernel source
which will give you the info you would have got from the second Linux
Foundation link. It'll give you a feel for how the process works and
where to start.

If you still need to ask general kernel or development participation
questions it is worth asking at the kernelnewbies mailing list -
kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - as people here typically have more
time for newcomers and you may get a quicker and more complete
response.

HTH,
Julie
