Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman. You have sent him a patch that has triggered this response. He used to manually respond to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was created. Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s) as indicated below:

- Your patch breaks the build.

- Your patch did not apply to any known trees that Greg is in control of. Possibly this is because you made it against Linus's tree, not the linux-next tree, which is where all of the development for the next version of the kernel is at. Please refresh your patch against the linux-next tree, or even better yet, the development tree specified in the MAINTAINERS file for the subsystem you are submitting a patch for, and resend it.

- You did not specify a description of why the patch is needed, or possibly, any description at all, in the email body. Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the kernel file, Documentation/SubmittingPatches for what is needed in order to properly describe the change.

- You did not write a descriptive Subject: for the patch, allowing Greg, and everyone else, to know what this patch is all about. Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the kernel file, Documentation/SubmittingPatches for what a proper Subject: line should look like.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot

Hi Ryan,

Welcome to Linux development.

You are working on an old version of the staging tree. Please rebase to the latest version of staging-next. drivers/android/ is not anymore here.

Aside from the above, what style issue were you trying to fix? Everything looks fine in the line that you changed,

Why did you decide to add the "const" qualifier to vmfile_fops? Do you know that since then the fields of vmfile_fops are not anymore assignable? What should we do with an empty list of file operations?

Furthermore, why did you drop the "static" memory qualifier? Do you know why it was (I suppose correctly) "static"?

Please don't ever forget to build your code before submitting patches.

Thanks,

Fabio M. De Francesco
