Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 16:37:50 -0800 From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org> To: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@....net> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, linux-doc@...r.kernel.org, Andy Whitcroft <apw@...onical.com>, Joe Perches <joe@...ches.com> Subject: [PATCH] doc: process: Add "Root-caused-by" and "Suggested-by" As recently pointed out by Linus, "Root-caused-by" is a good tag to include since it can indicate significantly more work than "just" a Reported-by. This adds it and "Suggested-by" (which was also missing) to the documented list of tags. Additionally updates checkpatch.pl to match the process docs.
