Hello. In the documentations it says to send patches to the maintainer of the relevant subsystem and to its relevant mailing list. Do I need to CC LKML anyway, too ?
You don't have to, but extra review is always good. However, if the subsystem has its own mailing list, it is better to send the patch there.
Do I need to send the patch to the maintainer only in the merge window (first two weeks after a release) ?
Maintainers usually have their own tree for queuing changes to Linus, and can take changes at any time. -- Politics is the struggle between those who want to make their country the best in the world, and those who believe it already is.
