Hi Joe,
I ran checkpatch.pl against the following: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1136334/ I did update MAINTAINERS, but I still get "does MAINTAINERS need updating?" warning. Why? $ scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-doc-move-namespaces.rst-out-of-kbuild-directory.patch WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating? #18: Documentation/{kbuild => admin-guide}/namespaces.rst | 0 total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 14 lines checked NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace. 0001-doc-move-namespaces.rst-out-of-kbuild-directory.patch has style problems, please review. NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
