Hi,
As far as I know that linux-next tree is a preview of patches which will be merged in the mainline kernel.
That is correct.
I've noticed that recently linux-next is updated with a gap.
What do you mean by "a gap"?
Can a patch be created against linux-next tree?
Yes, it should be made against that tree as that is the merge of all of the development trees together. For more specifics about linux-next and how the patches flow between that and Linus's releases, please see the great documentation in the Linux kernel source tree at Documentation/development_process/ Hope this helps, greg k-h
