Whether it gets applied depends on several factors. > How long does it normally take for a patch to be merged? Depends on who you ask to merge it. Andrew put patches into the -mm patchset within minutes sometimes, depending on how busy he is, what else he is doing, etc. But it varies quite a bit by driver or subsystem maintainer. > If a patch is not merged and I get no Replys, what should one do? Send it to the correct maintainer (driver or subsystem usually). If you can't find a correct maintainer, then send it to Andrew (akpm@osdl.org). Maybe put "[RFC]" in the Subject: line to get (more) comments on it. --- ~Randy You can't do anything without having to do something else first. -- Belefant's Law - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
