Your subject line is very odd.

And why are you trying to change coding style issues in core kernel
code?

Please start this type of work in drivers/staging/ where it is wanted,
not in other areas of the kernel where it is not good to try to learn
the process.

good luck!

Hi, Aviral!

Always check your patches with ./scripts/checpatch.pl. It will warn You
if your patch has common errors (ex: too long subject line like yours). 

I think, this link might be helpful
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html.
This document contains canonical patch format and other useful
info about "how to send patches".

Goog luck! 


With regards,
Pavel Skripkin
