| - | + | ||
| - | Send patches to the mailing lists below. Kalle Valo reviews the patches within the next few days and, if they are ok, commits them to ath.git. | + | |
| - | * To: [[mailto:ath10k@lists.infradead.org|ath10k@lists.infradead.org]] | + | |
| - | * Cc: [[mailto:linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org|linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org]] | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Preferably use ath.git master branch as the baseline for patches. Other trees can be used as well, but then the chances of conflicts are higher. | + | |

| - | Guidelines for patches: | + | |
| - | * MUST be compiler warning free. | + | |
| - | * MUST be sparse warning free. | + | |
| - | * Commit log MUST not be empty. | + | |
| - | * The commit log MUST answer the question "Why?": | + | |
| - | * * Describe the motivation behind the bug. | + | |
| - | * * How does it change the functionality from user's point of view? | + | |
| - | * * Does it fix a bug? If it does, please describe the bug (doesn't need to be long). Also if there's a public bug report add a link to the bug report. | + | |
| - | * * If a problem has been found during code review and doesn't fix a known issues, mention that in the commit log. | + | |
| - | * If others have reported the issue commit log SHOULD use Reported-by: and Tested-by: tags. | + | |
| - | * SHOULD be checkpatch clean: | + | |
| - | * * FIXME: add checkpatch example with correct arguments | + | |
| - | * Patches SHOULD be sent with git send-email tool. | + | |
| - | * Patchsets SHOULD contain no more than 12 patches. | + | |
| - | * Patches SHOULD follow [[en/users/Drivers/ath10k/CodingStyle|ath10k coding style]] | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The terminology is from [[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt|http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt]] | + | |
| - | The ath10k patch flow is this: | + | Periodically Kalle Valo pulls the ath tree into wireless-drivers-next tree. Then David Miller pulls it to net-next which is eventually pulled by Linus Torvalds to official kernel releases. As a rough estimate it takes 2-4 months for a patch to propage from ath.git to an official Linux release. |
| - | * - Patch gets posted to the mailing lists. | + | |
| - | * - Kalle immediately applies the patch to ath-next-test for build testing. | + | |
| - | * - Kalle waits two business days for patch being under review (unless the patch is urgent). | + | |
| - | * - If no comments or warnings, Kalle applies the patch to ath-next branch and sends a "Thanks, applied" reply. | + | |
| - | * - Kalle merges ath-next to master branch immeadiately after the patch is applies. | + | |
| - | * - John Linville merges ath-next into wireless-next roughly once a week | + | |
| - | * - David Miller merges wireless-next into net-next every two weeks or so | + | |
| - | * - Linus Torvalds merges net-next into linux.git during [[https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/development-process/2.Process|merge window]] | + | |
