If you have received an automated notification from a friendly bot, this is because the maintainers to whom you sent your patches rely on Patchwork to track, review and apply the patches they receive from contributors. You are awesome, thank you!

If you do not want to receive these notifications, simply add the sender address (patchwork-bot+[projectname]@kernel.org) to your block/auto-archive filter. Please don't mark it as spam, because doing so may cause you to no longer receive email from other kernel developers.

The bot is only able to recognize the patches that weren't significantly changed. If your patches were tweaked for variable naming, comments, whitespace, or other stylistic purposes, then the bot will no longer be able to make a reasonable match.

This is a beta feature

If you would like to receive email notifications for when the patches you send to the LKML are applied to Next or Mainline, you can Cc your submissions to notify@kernel.org (or add a special X-Patchwork-Bot header):

• The patches must be sent to the LKML (linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org)
• One of the cc's must be notify@kernel.org (Bcc will not work)
• Alternatively, there should be a "X-Patchwork-Bot: notify" email header
• All patches in the series must be applied, not just some of them
• The patches must not have been significantly edited by the maintainer(s).

There will be a single notification per each patch series, so if you send a series of 20 patches, you will get one notification in the form of a reply to the cover letter, or to the first patch in the series. The notification will be sent directly to you, ignoring any other addresses in the Cc field.

You can find the source for the bot in the helpers repository:
