For branch, normally I use 'integration-X.X' as base for kernel development.

And for btrfs-progs,
https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs.git devel

Allright, I'll work from these repos!

Is it fine if I work from Linus's repo?
Will my patches get rejected if I do so?

It depends.
If it's just small fix, and can be applied on Chris' integration branch, that's OK.

In that case, just submit patches to mail list, and if it's OK, maintainers like David will pick and rebase them properly.

But for huge modifications, it's recommended to use integration branch, as the final pull request is sent to btrfs maintainer Chris, not Linus.

Although all above is just my personal experience, other developers may give better advice though.

Thanks,
Qu
