Hi Zhang,
Sorry for the delay in looking at it. One thing which is missing from
your patch is a signed-off-by header. From section 12 of the
Documentation/SubmittingPatches file in the Linux source tree:
>The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
>patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to

If you could send me an acknowledgement that it would be OK to add a
Signed-off-by: Zhang Huan <zhhuan@...il.com>
line to your patch, it would be much appreciated.
