Who wrote this patch? Please keep the correct ownership of
patches...
This is Jenses work, I have absolutely nothing to do with it. I just want to make sure it reaches 4.17, I tried my best to follow these guidelines:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
I assumed that the first Signed-off is implicitly the author of the patch. Is there something I am missing? Am I misinterpeting the stable kernel rules?
If you use git format-patch and git send-email for your patches, they'll come out looking like https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg236090.html, which appears to be the proper format since Greg applied those patches without pointing out any flaws in the format.
That is correct, you need the first line that says "From:" to show that the patch comes from someone other than you. Please fix that up and resend.
thanks,
