# Creating your patch
Here are some good guidelines on how to prepare and send your patch:
- [The perfect patch](https://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/stuff/tpp.txt)
- [Linux kernel patch submission checklist](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/submit-checklist.html)
# What did I work on?
The first issue I was interested in turned out to be an invalid bug: I found that out by investigating the script the user was testing and measuring how much time each part of the script took to find out the main culprit: [bug-214851](https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214851). But I learned a lot during this alone, mostly about how to build things quickly, where to look for modules, how to enable debugging for them, etc.
