"Add support for XXX feature in a series of 8 patches". "What is in my pull request for the new kernel." It's just a shorter summary. This is just one patch not a series. I have never sent a cover letter in my life. I don't know who is complaining to you... In this case the changelog would have been better and more complete if all the cover letter information were in the permanent commit log. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Re: [PATCH] staging: rtl8712: rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c: Cleaning up useless if statement
Hi It's a bit confusing with this, I have received a lot of complaints that I have not had a cover letter. When should I include it? In an obvious patching. But where there's a need to explain anything further should have a cover letter. In this case, I suspected that there is a missed special case, that I mentioned in the cover letter. But did my patch that otherwise took away the otherwise unnecessary code. Thought it was the right use...?
