About guiding hello world module submission
Hi All, I am conducting one workshop at FUDCon in which I am trying to teach how to write and send your first linux kernel device driver. Could please suggest me the place where I can guide the students to send the device driver? Thanks !! -- Regards, Mayur S Patil, Looking for R&D or Soft Engg positions, Pune, India.

Not sure what do you want to achieve with this. To show students how to contribute to the Linux kernel you can find small coding style issues in the drivers/staging/ directory and send them to Greg KH. We are doing this every year and its a lot of fun. You can start with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLBrBBImJt4 thanks, Daniel.
Hi Daniel, I just want to make attendees confident enough that when they will go home ,they will continue without worrying about silly details like: - Attaching Plain Text attachment - Write Correct Makefile - Configure the Mail Clients to do so. That's only thing I want to achieve. On Wed, Jun 24, 2015 at 1:06 PM, Daniel Baluta <daniel.baluta@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, If i do not completely misunderstand you, I think you need some kind of mailbox where the students can submit their patches. Afterwards you can get the Emails together and discuss their results. I suppose you do not intend to send dummy-patches to a real maintainer for getting his feedback? Cheers Lukas On Thu, 25 Jun 2015 at 03:28 Mayur Patil <linuxcraz23@gmail.com> wrote:

Hey Mayur, I am not exactly sure what you need. 1) If you need to know how to send patches per mail, check Greg's talk here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLBrBBImJt4) 2) If you need help setting up an email inbox for receiving student's patches, just go for one of your preferred freemail hoster (they probably all suck) 3) If you need an inbox with Webmailer/POP3/IMAP, I can set you up one on one of my domains. Just drop me a line and I'm gonna set it up for you. 4) If you need something completely else, ask more precisely! ;) Cheers, Lukas On Thu, 25 Jun 2015 at 14:44 Mayur Patil <linuxcraz23@gmail.com> wrote:

once upon a time, i wrote an (admittedly-dated) online course on how to get started with kernel programming (and, yes, it needs updating :-P): http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming/introduction-lin... ignore the $39 reference, the course has been publicly available for free for a while. on the second point -- how to *send* that driver to the kernel -- don't you kind of need a rationale for why you're working on a driver that isn't in the kernel already? i suspect that if you're already competent enough to be writing a driver for something that isn't in the kernel, you probably already know the protocol for submitting it, no? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Hi Robert, I am only done with writing basic device drivers and kernel compilation. I also know that we can send patches/drivers to majordomo@vger.kernel.org But sending sample device drivers to that list will not be good etiquette. That's why I am asking.

./scripts/getmaintainer.pl should tell you that if you feed it with right patch file or the file which you are trying to modify.
