How Not to Get Your Linux driver Sent to the Staging Area Penalty Box

Steven Hemminger, Vyatta

The Linux kernel staging tree is a collection of new device drivers that have been submitted but have problems that keep them from being incorporated in the "mainline" kernel. This talk will analyze these drivers and hopefully come up with suggestions so that future driver writers do not have the same problem. The talk is intended for developers (and their managers). It will be a technical talk, but light in tone, using examples.
