The patch titled Subject: checkpatch: avoid some commit message long line warnings has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was checkpatch-avoid-some-commit-message-long-line-warnings.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: avoid some commit message long line warnings Fixes: and Link: lines may exceed 75 chars in the commit log. So too can stack dump and dmesg lines and lines that seem like filenames. And Fixes: lines don't need to have a "commit" prefix before the commit id. Add exceptions for these types of lines.
