You can resubmit a patch written by somebody else, but you need to preserve authorship such that git can attribute it properly:
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
in the patch header, as well as
Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
in the changelog tags. It should look something like this:
--- From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Subject: [PATCH] mm/memcg: update lru_lock Doc and comments
Update scattered references from "zone_lru_lock" to "lruvec->lru_lock" (in low-level descriptions) or "lruvec lock" (where that reads better).
In the course of doing so, update lock ordering comments in mm/rmap.c and mm/filemap.c and Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt - slightly, with no attempt to be complete (swap_lock, in particular, left out-of-date). Remove allusions to set_page_dirty under page_remove_rmap: gone in v3.9.
memcg_test.txt looks quite out-of-date: just give LRU a short paragraph. Replaced zone by node throughout unevictable-lru.txt (except for stats). Leave Documentation/locking/lockstat.txt untouched this time: it doesn't matter if that still refers to zone->lru_lock, along with other history.
I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.
