Submitted patch, what to do next
Hello, I sent a small patch to the LKML. I sent it to one of the mantainers (as per get_mantainers.pl) and I CC-ed linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. I'm not entirely sure I did everything properly and I was wondering how long does it usually take to get any feedback? It's been a couple weeks since I sent it. Any advice is appreciated, thanks! Regards, Alex
Congrats Alex! (hoping this is ur first patch). I expect myself to send my first patch, in the next 3 to 6 months. Let's see. best regards Sekar On Wed, Mar 7, 2018, 9:58 PM Alex Arvelaez <ealejandro@outlook.com> wrote:

Hi,
The upstream developers may reply to you in 1-3 days, so I think they have ignored your patch. You can send it again.
Please give the maintainers 1-2 weeks to get to a patch. After that it's safe to resend. Not 1-3 days, that's crazy fast :) thanks, greg k-h

imho you should send it to all e-mails given by get_maintainers
