See Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

As a first approximation:
	- try to figure out who maintains that code (by looking in
	  MAINTAINERS and/or looking at "git log
	  path/to/file/you/modified" to see who touched it lately, and
	  make sure they're cc'd on your mail.
	- generate the diff with "diff -up".
	- append the patch to your email so we can reply and quote it if
	  necessary.
	- give a few more details about what was broken before and how
	  this fixed it.
