Hey David. Is there some list of files that are more likely to trigger this? Maybe add a section like: USERSPACE ABI/API INTERFACES L: linux-api@vger.kernel.org F: include/asm-generic/errno*.h F: include/linux/capability.h F: include/linux/compat.h F: include/linux/syscalls.h F: include/*/unistd.h Maybe add some arch wildcards? F: arch/*/include/asm/errno.h F: arch/*/include/asm/unistd.h Maybe add fs? F: fs/compat*.c There's probably a bunch of others. Suggestions?
