+ List of maintainers and how to submit Lustre changes
+
+Please try to follow the guidelines below. This will make things
+easier on the maintainers. Not all of these guidelines matter for every
+trivial patch so apply some common sense.
+
+1. Always _test_ your changes, however small.
+
+2. PLEASE remember that submissions must be made under the terms
+ of the Linux Foundation certificate of contribution and should
+ include a Signed-off-by: line. The current version of this
+ "Developer's Certificate of Origin" (DCO) is listed in the file
+ Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.
+
+3. Make sure your changes compile correctly in multiple
+ configurations. In particular check that changes work both as a
+ module and built into the kernel.
+
+4. Add reviewers to the patch based on the get_maintainers.pl script.
+
+5. PLEASE check your patch with the automated style checker
+ (contrib/scripts/checkpatch.pl) to catch trivial style violations.
+
+6. Make sure you have the right to send any changes you make. If you
+ do changes at work you may find your employer owns the patch
+ not you.
+
+7. Happy hacking.
+
+Descriptions of section entries:
+
+ M: Mail patches to: FullName <address@domain>
+ R: Designated reviewer: FullName <address@domain>
+ These reviewers should be CCed on patches.
+ W: Web-page with status/info
+ B: URI for where to file bugs. A web-page with detailed bug
+ filing info, a direct bug tracker link, or a mailto: URI.
+ C: URI for chat protocol, server and channel where developers
+ usually hang out, for example irc://server/channel.
+ T: SCM tree type and location.
+ Type is one of: git, hg, quilt, stgit, topgit
+ S: Status, one of the following:
+ Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this.
+ Maintained: Someone actually looks after it.
+ Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do
+ much other than throw the odd patch in. See below..
+ Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
+ role as you write your new code].
+ Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
+ it has been replaced by a better system and you
+ should be using that.
+ F: Files and directories with wildcard patterns.
+ A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files.
+ F: drivers/net/ all files in and below drivers/net
+ F: drivers/net/* all files in drivers/net, but not below
+ F: */net/* all files in "any top level directory"/net
+ One pattern per line. Multiple F: lines acceptable.
+ N: Files and directories with regex patterns.
+ N: [^a-z]tegra all files whose path contains the word tegra
+ One pattern per line. Multiple N: lines acceptable.
+ scripts/get_maintainer.pl has different behavior for files that
+ match F: pattern and matches of N: patterns. By default,
+ get_maintainer will not look at git log history when an F: pattern
+ match occurs. When an N: match occurs, git log history is used
+ to also notify the people that have git commit signatures.
+ X: Files and directories that are NOT maintained, same rules as F:
+ Files exclusions are tested before file matches.
+ Can be useful for excluding a specific subdirectory, for instance:
+ F: net/
+ X: net/ipv6/
+ matches all files in and below net excluding net/ipv6/
+ K: Keyword perl extended regex pattern to match content in a
+ patch or file. For instance:
+ K: of_get_profile
+ matches patches or files that contain "of_get_profile"
+ K: \b(printk|pr_(info|err))\b
+ matches patches or files that contain one or more of the words
+ printk, pr_info or pr_err
+ One regex pattern per line. Multiple K: lines acceptable.
+
+This list is meant to remain in alphabetical order. Please add yourselves
+to it in alphabetical order. Please include "Lustre" in the subsystem
+description, even though it is currently redundant, so that it is easier
+to keep this in sync once the client is merged upstream.
