Submitting patches

All contributions to QEMU are sent as patches to the qemu-devel mailing list.

Send patches inline so they are easy to reply to with review comments. Do not put patches in attachments.

Patch emails must include a Signed-off-by: line. For more information see SubmittingPatches 1.12.

Make sure to follow the coding style:

• QEMU Coding Style
• QEMU Coding Guidelines

Split up longer patches into a patch series of logical code changes. Each change should compile and execute successfully.
