From 7ebd05ef1646e8cbef54e38343722741a4744626 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Covington Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:49:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch.pl: add check for Change-Id A commit hook for the Gerrit code review server [1] inserts change identifiers so Gerrit can track patches through multiple revisions. These identifiers are noise in the context of the upstream kernel. (Many Gerrit servers are private. Even given a public instance, given only a Change-Id, one must guess which server a change was tracked on. Patches submitted to the Linux kernel mailing lists should be able to stand on their own. If it's truly useful to reference code review on a Gerrit server, a URL is a much clearer way to do so.) Thus, issue an error when a Change-Id line is encountered before the Signed-off-by. 1. https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/master/gerrit-server/src/main/resources/com/google/gerrit/server/tools/root/hooks/commit-msg Signed-off-by: Christopher Covington Cc: Joe Perches Cc: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index d9b09eb767bb..fbb1b7e88e87 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -1924,6 +1924,12 @@ sub process { } } +# Check for unwanted Gerrit info + if ($in_commit_log && $line =~ /^\s*change-id:/i) { + ERROR("GERRIT_CHANGE_ID", + "Remove Gerrit Change-Id's before submitting upstream.\n" . $herecurr); + } + # Check for wrappage within a valid hunk of the file if ($realcnt != 0 && $line !~ m{^(?:\+|-| |\\ No newline|$)}) { ERROR("CORRUPTED_PATCH",
