+Q: How do I post corresponding changes to user space components?
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+A: User space code exercising kernel features should be posted
+alongside kernel patches. This gives reviewers a chance to see
+how any new interface is used and how well it works.
+
+When user space tools reside in the kernel repo itself all changes
+should generally come as one series. If series becomes too large
+or the user space project is not reviewed on netdev include a link
+to a public repo where user space patches can be seen.
+
+In case user space tooling lives in a separate repository but is
+reviewed on netdev (e.g. patches to `iproute2` tools) kernel and
+user space patches should form separate series (threads) when posted
+to the mailing list, e.g.::
+

+ [PATCH iproute2-next] ip: add support for some feature
