What is RFC/PATCH
RFC is an abbreviation of "Request For Comments" and PATCH is just that. When you've discovered a kernel problem and have implemented a solution for that problem which works for you but are otherwise unsure if it is the proper fix, it is customary to submit an e-mail to the relevant mailing list where the subject line is prefixed with [RFC/PATCH] followed by a brief subject line which summarises the problem, e.g. "Fix serial8250_backup_timeout() SMP/Preempt race". Make sure to thorougly describe the problem and how you propose to fix it in your patch header. Then close by requesting feeback and comments on possible alternative solutions for the problem.
