Linux Kernel patch sumbittal checklist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are some basic things that developers should do if they
want to see their kernel patch submittals accepted quicker.

These are all above and beyond the documentation that is provided
in Documentation/SubmittingPatches and elsewhere about submitting
Linux kernel patches.

- Builds cleanly with applicable or modified CONFIG options =y, =m, and =n.
No gcc warnings/errors, no linker warnings/errors.
1: Builds cleanly with applicable or modified CONFIG options =y, =m, and
=n. No gcc warnings/errors, no linker warnings/errors.
- Passes allnoconfig, allmodconfig
2: Passes allnoconfig, allmodconfig
- Builds on multiple CPU arch-es by using local cross-compile tools
3: Builds on multiple CPU architectures by using local cross-compile tools
or something like PLM at OSDL.
- ppc64 is a good architecture for cross-compilation checking because it
4: ppc64 is a good architecture for cross-compilation checking because it
tends to use `unsigned long' for 64-bit quantities.
- Matches kernel coding style(!)
5: Matches kernel coding style(!)
- Any new or modified CONFIG options don't muck up the config menu.
6: Any new or modified CONFIG options don't muck up the config menu.
- All new Kconfig options have help text.
7: All new Kconfig options have help text.
- Has been carefully reviewed with respect to relevant Kconfig
combinations. This is very hard to get right with testing --
brainpower pays off here.
8: Has been carefully reviewed with respect to relevant Kconfig
combinations. This is very hard to get right with testing -- brainpower
pays off here.
- Check cleanly with sparse.
9: Check cleanly with sparse.
- Use 'make checkstack' and 'make namespacecheck' and fix any
problems that they find. Note: checkstack does not point out
problems explicitly, but any one function that uses more than
512 bytes on the stack is a candidate for change.
10: Use 'make checkstack' and 'make namespacecheck' and fix any problems
that they find. Note: checkstack does not point out problems explicitly,
but any one function that uses more than 512 bytes on the stack is a
candidate for change.
- Include kernel-doc to document global kernel APIs. (Not required
for static functions, but OK there also.) Use 'make htmldocs'
or 'make mandocs' to check the kernel-doc and fix any issues.
11: Include kernel-doc to document global kernel APIs. (Not required for

- Has been tested with CONFIG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT,
12: Has been tested with CONFIG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP all simultaneously
enabled.
- Has been build- and runtime tested with and without CONFIG_SMP and
13: Has been build- and runtime tested with and without CONFIG_SMP and
CONFIG_PREEMPT.
- If the patch affects IO/Disk, etc: has been tested with and without
14: If the patch affects IO/Disk, etc: has been tested with and without
CONFIG_LBD.
15: All codepaths have been exercised with all lockdep features enabled.
2006-APR-27
16: All new /proc entries are documented under Documentation/
17: All new kernel boot parameters are documented in
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
18: All new module parameters are documented with MODULE_PARM_DESC()
