The subject to the patch should have a subsystem prefix. Normally, the pattern would be Subject: [PATCH] jffs2: make jffs2_initxattrs() static but it varies from subsystem to subsystem. You have to check with git log --pretty=oneline fs/jffs2/security.c or git log --pretty=oneline fs/jffs2/ Every patch should be CC'd to a subsystem list. In this case, it's linux-mtd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. You can find that with ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl. regards, dan carpenter
