Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] vfs: implement fchmodat2() syscall
[CC += linux-api@...r.kernel.org]
Hello Greg,
Since this is a kernel-user-space API change, please CC linux-api@.
The kernel source file Documentation/SubmitChecklist notes that all
Linux kernel patches that change userspace interfaces should be CCed
to linux-api@...r.kernel.org, so that the various parties who are
interested in API changes are informed. For further information, see
https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/linux-api-ml.html
Thanks,
Michael
