If you want other people to do work for you in reviewing code, you need to make it as easy as possible for them to do that. By showing that you put in as little effort as necessary, that indicates to me that I should put in little, if no, effort as well. How do I know you are going to then later on do the correct thing? If not, that means my limited time that I gave to you was wasted. If you show that you care enough to do the job correctly, then I know you are more invested in doing the right thing and so, I too will put in the effort. And really, this goes for almost everything in life, not just boring kernel patches :) good luck! greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
