Documentation/, SPDX tags, and checkpatch.pl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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:
