Hi,
I am new to linux kernel and trying to understand the process of different git branch to work.
So, if I am not wrong then there are different branch like stable, next, staging etc. Previously I work with staging branch so if I am making any changes for drivers/staging I have to work with staging branch like follow. git clone git checkout -t -b staging-testing origin/staging-testing git chekcout -b MY_LOCAL_BRANCH not do work and subimt
So, how it work for other source structure, like now I want to make some for y2038 -> drivers/scsi which branch should I set up and work with, next/stable/or is there any specific y2038 branch.
I didn’t find a branch that match you describes. Most of drivers in kernel, which have y2038 problem, is old, legacy and not updated very much. So you can write you patch against mainline tree, as long as it can be merged without any conflicts.
Arnd has collected some y2038 patches that already done. You can check this in his git tree[1], to avoid duplicate work .
