* docs: netdev: move the netdev-FAQ to the process pagesJakub Kicinski2022-03-311-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The documentation for the tip tree is really in quite a similar spirit to the netdev-FAQ. Move the netdev-FAQ to the process docs as well.

* Documentation/process: Add tip tree handbookThomas Gleixner2021-09-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a document to the subsystem/maintainer handbook section, which explains what the tip tree is, how it operates and what rules and expectations it has. [ bp: - Add a SPDX identifier, work in most comments from the thread. - 9bf19b78a203 ("Documentation/submitting-patches: Document the SoB chain") is also in the main Documentation but I'm leaving the paragraph here because it has the proper structure - text talks about SoBs and referencing somewhere else would interrupt the flow. - Move backtraces in changelogs to main submitting-patches.rst. - "Patch version information" is explained to a great detail in submitting-patches.rst too. - Hyperlink resend reminders section. ] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Paul E.

* Documentation/process: Add maintainer handbooks sectionThomas Gleixner2021-09-141-0/+16
General rules for patch submission, coding style and related details are available, but most subsystems have their subsystem-specific extra rules which differ or go beyond the common rules. Mark suggested to add a subsystem/maintainer handbook section, where subsystem maintainers can explain their specific quirks. Add the section and link to it from the submitting-patches document.
