Re: "Disappearing" file in Documentation/ABI/testing

re-hi,

 

addition are you using correct tree?

 

linux is current stable

linux-next is next

Please see Valdis's examples:
 

<valdis> $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
<valdis> $ git remote add linux-next git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git

Hello,

 

if you are having trouble submitting a patch, watch out for some things.

 

- send your patch to relevant sub-group <linux-doc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

- in diff format

- describe your changes full

- please use style check

- just plain text

- include PATCH your mail Subject (PATCH: Folder: Documentation etc: for example)

- please use Signed-off-by: tag

- use git format-patch (very easy)

 

and please remember, kernel source has a get_maintainer script if you dont know which group to send to patch.

 

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl

 

already Greg KH answered and you have a stable version so stable is good :)

 

Regards

 

 How should I handle this? Should my patch now add its entry to the
 "stable" file, or should it recreate the "testing" file?

It should be in "stable" as it is going to be a stable api :)
