Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Document kernel taint flags properly
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:58:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1225321092-21933-1-git-send-email-gregkh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081029223824.GB21657@kroah.com>
This fills in the documentation for all of the current kernel taint
flags, and fixes the number for TAINT_CRAP, which was incorrectly
described.
