What can I do if I sent a wrong patch?

Hello,
A mistake was found after I sent the patch to mentors. What Can I do to make up the fault?

first, if they're truly mentors, they should check the patch
themselves and catch the error. otherwise, they're not really doing their job as "mentors."

second, you need to self-examine what you failed to do properly to
have sent in a bad patch.

i doubt you've done any real harm; the linux kernel has lots of
checking up the hierarchy so that a truly damaging patch is rarely going to get into the source tree.

third, send out a follow-up email informing people that you found a mistake with your patch.

People appreciate developers who take responsibility for their code, and work to fix it up after the fact.
