Hi,
Stupid question, maybe. But I just could find the answer vi Bing or Google.
How to generate Fixes: <commit> ("<text>") E.g. Fixes: 298a32b13208 ("kmemleak: powerpc: skip scanning holes in the .bss section")
Or they just write it manually?
starting with documentation in th kernel might be better than google or bing
<snip Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst> The following git config settings can be used to add a pretty format for outputting the above style in the git log or git show commands: [core] abbrev = 12 [pretty] fixes = Fixes: %h (\"%s\") <snip>
or on the commandline you can simply use
git log -1 --pretty=format:"Fixes: %h (\"%s\")" SHA
Here's what I, and many other, kernel developers use: git show -s --abbrev-commit --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"Fixes: %h (\"%s\")%n"
Probably does the same thing, but doesn't require you to set 'abbrev=12' in your git config if you don't want to.
yup - the above command assumes that it is set in the contfig but you can pass it in for git log as well - same options basically git log -1 --abbrev-commit --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"Fixes: %h (\"%s\")" thx! hofrat
