Unfortunately many patch submissions are arriving with painfully poor patch descriptions. As a result of the discussion on LKML: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/15/296 explain how to submit a better patch description, in the (perhaps vain) hope that maintainers won't end up having to rewrite the git commit logs as often as they do today.

I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files, and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file. By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches, and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate (as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt). This should be helpful for people sending their first patches, or not sending patches on a frequent basis. Signed-off-by:

This version brings a number of new checks, fixes for flase positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use. Of note: - checks for documentation for new __setup calls - clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved - reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing - reports on unwanted externs This patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it is not intended as the final arbitor of style. Full changelog: Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.07 ensure we do not apply control brace checks to preprocesor directives add {u,s}{8,16,32,64} to the type matcher accept lack of spacing after the semicolons in for (;;) report new externs in .c files fix up typedef exclusion for function prototypes else trailing statements check need to account for \ at end of line add enums to the type matcher add missing check descriptions suppress double reporting of ** spacing report on do{ spacing issues include an example of the brace/parenthesis in output check for spacing after closing braces prevent double reports on pointer spacing issues handle blank continuation lines on macros classify all reports error, warning, or check revamp hanging { checks and apply in context no spaces after the last ; in a for is ok check __setup has a corresponding addition to documentation David Woodhouse (1): limit character set used in patches and descriptions to UTF-8 Signed-off-by:

We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers. As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script. Signed-off-by:
