Subject: Documentation/, SPDX tags, and checkpatch.pl
Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2019 13:47:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <124ecffe-25a0-ace6-f106-d9d173c17035@nvidia.com> (raw)
Hi,
When adding a new Documentation/ file, checkpatch.pl is warning me
that the SPDX tag is missing. Should checkpatch.pl skip those kinds
of warnings, seeing as how we probably don't intend on putting the
SPDX tags at the top of the Documentation/*.rst files?
Or are we, after all? I'm just looking to get to a warnings-free situation
here, one way or the other. :)
The exact warning I'm seeing is:
WARNING: Missing or malformed SPDX-License-Identifier tag in line 1
#25: FILE: Documentation/vm/get_user_pages.rst:1:
+.. _get_user_pages:
--
thanks,
John Hubbard
NVIDIA
