     What follows is a suggested procedure for reporting Linux bugs. You

aren't obliged to use the bug reporting format, it is provided as a guide

to the kind of information that can be useful to developers - no more.

     If the failure includes an "OOPS:" type message in your log or on

screen please read "Documentation/oops-tracing.txt" before posting your

bug report. This explains what you should do with the "Oops" information

to make it useful to the recipient.

      Send the output to the maintainer of the kernel area that seems to

be involved with the problem. Don't worry too much about getting the

wrong person. If you are unsure send it to the person responsible for the

code relevant to what you were doing. If it occurs repeatably try and

describe how to recreate it. That is worth even more than the oops itself.

The list of maintainers is in the MAINTAINERS file in this directory.

      If it is a security bug, please copy the Security Contact listed

in the MAINTAINERS file.  They can help coordinate bugfix and disclosure.

See Documentation/SecurityBugs for more information.

      If you are totally stumped as to whom to send the report, send it to

linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. (For more information on the linux-kernel

mailing list see http://www.tux.org/lkml/).

This is a suggested format for a bug report sent to the Linux kernel mailing

list. Having a standardized bug report form makes it easier for you not to

overlook things, and easier for the developers to find the pieces of

information they're really interested in. Don't feel you have to follow it.

      First run the ver_linux script included as scripts/ver_linux, which

reports the version of some important subsystems.  Run this script with

the command "sh scripts/ver_linux".

Use that information to fill in all fields of the bug report form, and

post it to the mailing list with a subject of "PROBLEM: 

summary from [1.]>" for easy identification by the developers.

[1.] One line summary of the problem:

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

[4.] Kernel information

[4.1.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

[4.2.] Kernel .config file:

[5.] Most recent kernel version which did not have the bug:

[6.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information

     resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

[7.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the

     problem (if possible)

[8.] Environment

[8.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)

[8.2.] Processor information (from /proc/cpuinfo):

[8.3.] Module information (from /proc/modules):

[8.4.] Loaded driver and hardware information (/proc/ioports, /proc/iomem)

[8.5.] PCI information ('lspci -vvv' as root)

[8.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi)

[8.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem

       (please look in /proc and include all information that you

       think to be relevant):

[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
