It is safer to put macro arguments in parentheses. This way, accidental
operator precedence issues can be avoided.

Hi Dominik,

git shows your name with the following characters:

Author: Dominik Karol Pi^Etkowski dominik.karol.piatkowski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx


I think it is better to change your name to only english letters.

If you send in a second version of this patch please use a change
history. Description from Dan under:

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp

Hi Philipp,

Thanks for testing my patch.

About the mangled author field - it was sent as
"From: =?UTF-8?q?Dominik=20Karol=20Pi=C4=85tkowski?= <dominik.karol.piatkowski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>"
and =C4=85 in UTF-8 is indeed 'ą' character. When looking at linux-next tree,
previously accepted patches also seem to have 'ą' as intended. I am not sure
why you are seeing "^E" instead.

Thanks,
Dominik Karol


Hi Dominik Karol,

you are right. On the from Greg accepted patches the 'ą' is as intended.

Then everything is all right. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
