To LKML (linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org). Send CC to maintainer of affected
parts (look in comment at the begining of given source and in the
MAINTAINERS
file). Write description of the problem and of the patch an include the
patch.
Include it directly in message text if your mailer can do that without
screwing up whitespace. Patch should be unified format (see submiting
patches
in kernel docs).
