Hi, How would I go ahead to send a patch for the latest -rc kernel? Specifically: * What tree to diff against? (Linus'?) * To which list do I send the patch? Background: I've contributed a new network driver that is now in 3.13-rc1. I would like to fix it so that it behaves better with iproute. Strictly speaking this isn't a bug fix, but the driver is going to be quite useless without iproute support, and that won't be there until this fix is in the kernel.
Almost every subsystem has its own next git tree, since it's a networking driver issue, please verify your fix against net-next: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/ And send the patch to netdev maillist: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#netdev You need also CC the driver maintainer by looking at linux_source_code/MAINTAINERS, or using ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl.
