patch against linux-next
Hi, As far as I know that linux-next tree is a preview of patches which will be merged in the mainline kernel. I've noticed that recently linux-next is updated with a gap. Can a patch be created against linux-next tree? A kernel newbie, Amit Kumar

Ruben, you are totally wrong, this is not an "acedemic" area, and that's a made up linux.com email address. This is the exact type of question that this mailing list is for. Please stop. greg k-h

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

Previously I've seen updates everyday except weekend.

I've watched your video regarding patch submission, in which you have
discussed about "built right". It means if I've knowledge of a device/board (without owning it) then I can write and submit patch if it builds correctly. Hope this helps,

Yes, the linux-next maintainer does not do this work every single day, he needs breaks along with the rest of us :)
