It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build system:
- The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the turn of the millennium. Over the following 25 years, it accumulated a vast amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal with anymore. Mauro's Python replacement in 6.16 faithfully reproduced all of the cruft in the hope of avoiding regressions. Now that we have a more reasonable code base, though, we can work on cleaning it up; many of the changes this time around are toward that end. - A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format. - Various Chinese translations and updates. - A new script from Mauro to help with docs-build testing. - A new document for linked lists - A sweep through MAINTAINERS fixing broken GitHub git:// repository links. ...and lots of fixes and updates. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFDBAABCgAtFiEEIw+MvkEiF49krdp9F0NaE2wMflgFAmiHe3oPHGNvcmJldEBs d24ubmV0AAoJEBdDWhNsDH5Y+EIH/0dMribAlWSrfS1sdisfkVp+nHh+DB6EA+uX XqbJvQrukze6GvvOI2L6+3fDp+5CBtBRRSkzsNIXfFQo6p/jEbTmD/JILO0LcyDT 9iFX+W30nRetu1SqkiTGjLXgu+tF0gUE6zVnI7Lx7H10PUnUPkFbmMuwmOcOV/lC 7Lml+G1FTByGE6gDjTTyTJOqBf37uLJq33N2YnPK0SHm4DiSsWGvINxGbXrrpR5Z 7ORA6SnaIxFuy60SxL9pEH92OLS/kHRw74P/DT1dkg9BSdy4TRLM30QkZFGoiG2B OOnnT/JJz80BzI1ctzpcwGRWfD+i8DDvujp8+aLxXYbl5N7WYw0= =sji4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'docs-6.17' of git://git.lwn.net/linux Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build system: - The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the turn of the millennium.

docs: process: discourage pointless boilerplate kdoc
It appears that folks "less versed in kernel coding" think that its good style to document every function, even if they have no useful information to pass to the future readers of the code. This used to be just a waste of space, but with increased kdoc format linting it's also a burden when refactoring the code.

require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30
x86 already uses gcc-8 as the minimum version, this changes all other architectures to the same version. gcc-8 is used is Debian 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, both of which are still supported, and binutils 2.30 is the oldest corresponding version on those. Ubuntu Pro 18.04 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 both use gcc-7 as the system compiler but additionally include toolchains that remain supported. With the new minimum toolchain versions, a number of workarounds for older versions can be dropped, in particular on x86_64 and arm64. Importantly, the updated compiler version allows removing two of the five remaining gcc plugins, as support for sancov and structeak features is already included in modern compiler versions. I tried collecting the known changes that are possible based on the new toolchain version, but expect that more cleanups will be possible. Since this touches multiple architectures, I merged the patches through the asm-generic tree. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEo6/YBQwIrVS28WGKmmx57+YAGNkFAmg6vNMACgkQmmx57+YA GNkOmg/+LtR9B2P27GPBeG8HnLTZ8hKELiyYeSk6ZFgQv5hevE37HV35Yru7e7gu wcF6CgYr8ff4CVcHM7y0790oGew1thkqq5CklFIH0EwCDJx/mWfZR1SS2jfZIEWM HSDOlQQd1S8oWia14tSnQos3nW3CB9/ABVTHH+Wvl3xn48WMRvgK2LJgGLuxJrt8 5DD9auHiLjchWB5tB4DU98IgWWgFUGMTsI6IayZ4dkF4CdWqd89h0Y3pjJYeBgHS mPxzR2q8WjEmG9hp7QuZQgn/pAYleJAwHvvkoLrkQ2ieqx3FjWiwFbQp4CG1Sc8L eBR1lnkqS2z/e7xJLfe86fOoKWWu4I0tZKhRan/0+UOGm5nXrGpqSxKS8ZDsRuAp 3fvyhIp1cYSa7Xkok8BFhLEFR0tguXJXnXBc3tWE5VXIfFNd0Ohh1GUYhXDAqWKh i0jN9dSNhokM3AqBi6qZl5kmBnRA3UsIaOg3QRrqN8IlBPp+u7i5xsrJIUWvD95o TO06admmLcCJT8n6ZfNVfRjBgzu8+t54UVaDx9YYwxoNGOSFwqOb8CSPTWPxLmDr RKDUOvO8DBlP7uFz9neP+LxluA3DjurRZvb0z0AmCZ8/RXEmTMCyfP5a6esxquXt 0Bqo6hM9q+TeXTHNS1CNvqLSWWikw+AzS/ZPPvriYFn5lxtbq6c= =pdDC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'gcc-minimum-version-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic Pull compiler version requirement update from Arnd Bergmann: "Require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30 x86 already uses gcc-8 as the minimum version, this changes all other architectures to the same version. gcc-8 is used is Debian 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, both of which are still supported, and binutils 2.30 is the oldest corresponding version on those.

Driver core changes for 6.16-rc1
Here are the driver core / kernfs changes for 6.16-rc1. Not a huge number of changes this development cycle, here's the summary of what is included in here: - kernfs locking tweaks, pushing some global locks down into a per-fs image lock - rust driver core and pci device bindings added for new features. - sysfs const work for bin_attributes. This churn should now be completed for those types of attributes - auxbus device creation helpers added - fauxbus fix for creating sysfs files after the probe completed properly - other tiny updates for driver core things.

Networking changes for 6.15.
Core & protocols ---------------- - Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock (IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls). - Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock. - Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance. - Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy Rx via io_uring. - Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%. - Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream performance up to 2x. - Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution. - Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%. - Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under ping flood. - Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win. - Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4 namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments, interpreted differently based on context. - Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access. - Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in TCP. - Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches. - Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST. - Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP sockets. - Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin users. - Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack. - Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a module. - Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar to normal bridging. - Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels. - netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name to messages as metadata Driver API ---------- - Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where possible. Improve its handling in phylib. - Support symmetric OR-XOR RSS hashing algorithm. - Support tracking and preserving IRQ affinity by NAPI itself. - Support loopback mode speed selection for interface selftests. Device drivers -------------- - Remove the IBM LCS driver for s390. - Remove the sb1000 cable modem driver. - Add support for SFP module access over SMBus. - Add MCTP transport driver for MCTP-over-USB. -

Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock (IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls) - Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock. - Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance. - Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy Rx via io_uring. - Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%. - Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream performance up to 2x. - Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution. - Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%. - Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under ping flood. - Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win. - Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4 namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments, interpreted differently based on context. - Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access. - Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in TCP. - Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches. - Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST. - Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP sockets. - Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin users. - Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack. - Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a module. - Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar to normal bridging. - Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels. - netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name to messages as metadata Driver API: - Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where possible. Improve its handling in phylib. - Support symmetric OR-XOR RSS hashing algorithm. - Support tracking and preserving IRQ affinity by NAPI itself. - Support loopback mode speed selection for interface selftests.

It has been a reasonably busy cycle for docs...
- Significant changes throughout the tree to bring Python code up to current standards and raise the minimum Python required to 3.9. Much of this is preparatory to replacing the ancient Perl scripts/kernel-doc horror with a slightly less horrifying Python implementation, expected for 6.16. - Update the minimum Sphinx required to 3.4.3, allowing us to remove a bunch of older compatibility code. - Rework and improve the generation of the ABI documentation. (All of the above done by Mauro) - Lots of translation updates. Alex Shi and Yanteng Si are taking on responsibility for the Chinese translations going forward; that work will still get to you via docs-next - Try to standardize the format for indicating a developer's affiliation in commit tags. - Clarify the TAB's role in CoC enforcement actions. - Try to spell out the rules for when a commit tag can name another developer without their explicit permission.

docs: clarify rules wrt tagging other people
Point out that explicit permission is usually needed to tag other people in changes, but mention that implicit permission can be sufficient in certain cases. This fixes slight inconsistencies between Reported-by: and Suggested-by: and makes the usage more intuitive. While at it, explicitly mention the dangers of our bugzilla instance, as it makes it easy to forget that email addresses visible there are only shown to logged-in users. The latter is not a theoretical issue, as one maintainer mentioned that his employer received a EU GDPR (general data protection regulation) complaint after exposing a email address used in bugzilla through a tag in a patch description.

Documentation/CoC: Spell out the TAB role in enforcement decisions
Updates the document to clearly describe the scope and role the TAB plays
in making decisions on unresolved violations. If and when the CoC has to
make a call on instituting a ban, it doesn't act without the TAB's approval
and only when the TAB approves it with 2/3 vote in favor of the measure.
These changes ensure that the TAB role and its oversight on CoC measures
is consistently described throughout the document.

docs: netdev: add a note on selftest posting
We haven't had much discussion on the list about this, but a handful of people have been confused about rules on posting selftests for fixes, lately. I tend to post fixes with their respective selftests in the same series. There are tradeoffs around size of the net tree and conflicts but so far it hasn't been a major issue.

kernel-docs: Add book to process/kernel-docs.rst
Add a reference to my new book, The Linux Memory Manager, an in-depth exploration of the memory management subsystem, to process/kernel-docs.rst. This is not yet published, but the full draft is available on pre-order, so it seems worthwhile adding it here. The situation is made clear in the 'notes' section. The 'pre-release' was made available in February 2025, and full release is scheduled for Fall 2025. The book's ISBN-13 is 978-1718504462. The document will be updated upon release to reflect this.

Adding company name in round brackets to From/SoB lines
is fairly common, but I don't see it documented anywhere.
Every now and then people try to add the sponsorship lines

Networking changes for 6.14.
Core ---- - More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention, including preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock, replacing RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related net device data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock. - Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge and more specific TCP coverage. - Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems synchronize_net() in tipc and sched. - Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic redirection based on such header field. Netfilter --------- - Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing netdev basechains without devices. - Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin, reset and re-open events. - Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each restart. Protocols --------- - A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing several helpers into the core - Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in inet peers handling. - Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6 address changes. - Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP. - Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection lifetime is very short. - Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS (for TLS 1.3 only). - Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2. - Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets, gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet. - Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in conjunction with the congestion control algorithm. Driver API ---------- - Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via ethtool. - Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively. - Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS) value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W implementation. - Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support. - Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib implementation. - Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation. - Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported interfaces. Tests and tooling ----------------- - Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it separately from the kernel. - Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill test-cases. - Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease maintenance and future development. - Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net self-tests, allowing a single build to run both net and drivers/net. Drivers ------- - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5): - add cross E-Switch QoS support - add SW Steering support for ConnectX-8 - implement support for HW-Managed Flow Steering, improving the rule deletion/insertion rate - support for multi-host LAG - Intel (ixgbe, ice, igb): - ice: add support for devlink health events - ixgbe: add initial support for E610 chipset variant - igb: add support for AF_XDP zero-copy - Meta: - add support for basic RSS config - allow changing the number of channels - add hardware monitoring support - Broadcom (bnxt): - implement TCP data split and HDS threshold ethtool support, enabling Device Memory TCP. - Marvell Octeon: - implement egress ipsec offload support for the cn10k family - Hisilicon (HIBMC): - implement unicast MAC filtering - Ethernet NICs embedded and virtual: - Convert UDP tunnel drivers to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS, avoiding contented atomic operations for drop counters - Freescale: - quicc: phylink conversion - enetc: support Tx and Rx checksum offload and improve TSO performances - MediaTek: - airoha: introduce support for ETS and HTB Qdisc offload - Microchip: - lan78XX USB: preparation work for phylink conversion - Synopsys (stmmac): - support DWMAC IP on NXP Automotive SoCs S32G2xx/S32G3xx/S32R45 - refactor EEE support to leverage the new driver API - optimize DMA and cache access to increase raw RX performances by 40% - TI: - icssg-prueth: add multicast filtering support for VLAN interface - netkit: - add ability to configure head/tailroom - VXLAN: - accepts packets with user-defined reserved bit - Ethernet switches: - Microchip: - lan969x: add RGMII support - lan969x: improve TX and RX performance using the FDMA engine - nVidia/Mellanox: - move Tx header handling to PCI driver, to ease XDP support - Ethernet PHYs: - Texas Instruments DP83822: - add support for GPIO2 clock output - Realtek: - 8169: add support for RTL8125D rev.b - rtl822x: add hwmon support for the temperature sensor - Microchip: - add support for RDS PTP hardware - consolidate periodic output signal generation - CAN: - several DT-bindings to DT schema conversions - tcan4x5x: - add HW standby support - support nWKRQ voltage selection - kvaser: - allowing Bus Error Reporting runtime configuration - WiFi: - the on-going Multi-Link Operation (MLO) effort continues, affecting both the stack and in drivers - mac80211/cfg80211: - Emergency Preparedness Communication Services (EPCS) station mode support - support for adding and removing station links for MLO - add support for WiFi 7/EHT mesh over 320 MHz channels - report Tx power info for each link - RealTek (rtw88): - enable USB Rx aggregation and USB 3 to improve performance - LED support - RealTek (rtw89): - refactor power save to support Multi-Link Operations - add support for RTL8922AE-VS variant - MediaTek (mt76): - single wiphy multiband support (preparation for MLO) - p2p device support - add TP-Link TXE50UH USB adapter support - Qualcomm (ath10k): - support for the QCA6698AQ IP core - Qualcomm (ath12k): - enable MLO for QCN9274 - Bluetooth: - Allow sysfs to trigger hdev reset, to allow recovering devices not responsive from user-space - MediaTek: add support for MT7922, MT7925, MT7921e devices - Realtek: add support for RTL8851BE devices - Qualcomm: add support for WCN785x devices - ISO: allow BIG re-sync Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJGBAABCAAwFiEEg1AjqC77wbdLX2LbKSR5jcyPE6QFAmePf5YSHHBhYmVuaUBy ZWRoYXQuY29tAAoJECkkeY3MjxOkUcMQALblhkGTxurnfT+yK+Bsuhn2LoHl2RPN 4u2Kjkzm+2FYgcw6lS17cFXsnfAPlRIpmhnmKk1EBgsBdkuL29c+jtqnljA2bboD tIMhMgWiaLS3xgEMrLeKnseIo0G9mviQRphGeZPFTaLb4Ww/bd5LAp4ZGc5oij76 tURatC3b6MuO4Lt5U+jWKnRwviXku8udHkVHXlvPdirawHCVinmx3tvce/BI/MaD eUOp6ZeJCPCOLtk7b8WEyxxvdY0f6D9ed82qfPDHjb94SJv+Vxb38RZtNuApIjn9 S0KdlNih/4flDy17LDxGYSyFps78lUFRbpqmsUlnZkyLXpsph7/WTvAmMAFcrX0K UgQ/F/q5GAvcP5WZcCj5+tZaRmfKQraQirXMtYU/Uj50qCnSU7ssyACASt23GLZ8 OF8tCLlm9lLOU1B6Ofkul1Dbo5f0Xpaghga4dFb0kzSfbm78fTUnqBNsJ7jIkWfi fD6dO+fg+p2ZMD0CACGo3CNxQuJmaQWg6BIDeno6God8kZ6qBMxY/sFr4qozrvFH x/FgQq8dgc8WLmaPejKiNIPkdQepXrIiv3T9jgMVyEjJnWB/LBfyWKSQOdTfnLs+ rgr4YMV6XW4bx0fYqTI8B9jZ+FCWbG6sn4UtRTHITKcd3FSvd8Y+PHa5YyCUWvJM l8pePMGF0XVF =hrsp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'net-next-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "This is slightly smaller than usual, with the most interesting work being still around RTNL scope reduction.

Tags are really appreciated by maintainers in general, since it means someone is willing to put their name on a commit, be it as a reviewer, tester, etc. However, signers (i.e. submitters carrying tags from previous versions and maintainers applying patches) may need to take or drop tags, on a case-by-case basis, for different reasons. Yet this is not explicitly spelled out in the documentation, thus there may be instances [1] where contributors may feel unwelcome. Thus, to clarify, state this clearly.

docs: submitting-patches: clarify difference between Acked-by and Reviewed-by
Newcomers to the kernel need to learn the different tags that are used in commit messages and when to apply them. Acked-by is sometimes misunderstood, since the documentation did not really clarify (up to the previous commit) when it should be used, especially compared to Reviewed-by. The previous commit already clarified who the usual providers of Acked-by tags are, with examples. Thus provide a clarification paragraph for the comparison with Reviewed-by, and give a couple examples reusing the cases given above, in the previous commit.

docs: submitting-patches: clarify Acked-by and introduce "# Suffix"
Acked-by is typically used by maintainers. However, sometimes it is useful to be able to accept the tag from other stakeholders that may not have done a deep technical review or may not be kernel developers. For instance: - People with domain knowledge, such as the original author of the code being modified. - Userspace-side reviewers for a kernel uAPI patch, like in DRM -- see Documentation/gpu/drm-uapi.rst: > The userspace-side reviewer should also provide an Acked-by on the > kernel uAPI patch indicating that they believe the proposed uAPI > is sound and sufficiently documented and validated for userspace's > consumption. - Key users of a feature, such as in [1]. Thus clarify that Acked-by may be used by other stakeholders (but most commonly by maintainers). Since, in these cases, it may be confusing why an Acked-by is/was provided, allow and suggest to provide a "# Suffix" explaining it. The "# Suffix" for Acked-by is already being used to clarify what part of the patch a maintainer is acknowledging, thus also mention "# Suffix" in the relevant paragraph.

kheaders: use 'tar' instead of 'cpio' for copying files
The 'cpio' command is used solely for copying header files to the
temporary directory. However, there is no strong reason to use 'cpio'
for this purpose. For example, scripts/package/install-extmod-build
uses the 'tar' command to copy files.
This commit replaces the use of 'cpio' with 'tar' because 'tar' is
already used in this script to generate kheaders_data.tar.xz anyway.
Performance-wide, there is no significant difference between 'cpio'
and 'tar'.
[Before]
$ rm -fr kheaders; mkdir kheaders
$ time sh -c '
for f in include arch/x86/include
do
find "$f" -name "*.h"
done | cpio --quiet -pd kheaders

Align git commit ID abbreviation guidelines and checks
The guidelines for git commit ID abbreviation are inconsistent: some
places state to use 12 characters exactly, while other places recommend
12 characters or more. The same issue is present in the checkpatch.pl
script.
E.g. Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst says:
**GIT_COMMIT_ID**
The proper way to reference a commit id is:
commit <12+ chars of sha1> ("<title line>")
However, scripts/checkpatch.pl has two different checks: one warning
check accepting 12 characters exactly:
# Check Fixes: styles is correct
Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: <12 chars of sha1> (\"<title line>\")'
and a second error check accepting 12-40 characters:
# Check for git id commit length and improperly formed commit descriptions
# A correctly formed commit description is:
# commit <SHA-1 hash length 12+ chars> ("Complete commit subject")
Please use git commit description style 'commit <12+ chars of sha1>
Hence patches containing commit IDs with more than 12 characters are
flagged by checkpatch, and sometimes rejected by maintainers or
reviewers. This is becoming more important with the growth of the
repository, as git may decide to use more characters in case of local
conflicts.
Fix this by settling on at least 12 characters, in both the
documentation and in the checkpatch.pl script.
