docs: netdev: update the netdev infra URLs

2023-09-04T09:59:13+00:00

Some corporate proxies block our current NIPA URLs because they use a free / shady DNS domain. As suggested by Jesse we got a new DNS entry from Konstantin - netdev.bots.linux.dev, use it. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

docs: netdev: document patchwork patch states

2023-09-04T08:39:20+00:00

The patchwork states are largely self-explanatory but small ambiguities may still come up. Document how we interpret the states in networking. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

docs: netdev: recommend against --in-reply-to

2023-08-24T18:25:38+00:00

It's somewhat unfortunate but with (my?) the current tooling if people post new versions of a set in reply to an old version managing the review queue gets difficult. So recommend against it.

2023-07-12T03:27:00+00:00

docs: netdev: broaden mailbot to all MAINTAINERS

2023-07-01T12:16:59+00:00

Reword slightly now that all MAINTAINERS have access to the commands. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

docs: netdev: document the existence of the mail bot

2023-05-24T04:11:54+00:00

We had a good run, but after 4 weeks of use we heard someone asking about pw-bot commands. Let's explain its existence in the docs. It's not a complete documentation but hopefully it's enough for the casual contributor. The project and scope are in flux so the details would likely become out of date, if we were to document more in depth.

docs: netdev: clarify the need to sending reverts as patches

2023-03-29T06:51:05+00:00

We don't state explicitly that reverts need to be submitted as a patch. It occasionally comes up. Reviewed-by: Jacob Keller Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230327172646.2622943-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

docs: netdev: add note about Changes Requested and revising commit messages

2023-03-24T04:50:22+00:00

One of the most commonly asked questions is "I answered all questions and don't need to make any code changes, why was the patch not applied". Document our time honored tradition of asking people to repost with improved commit messages, to record the answers to reviewer questions. Take this opportunity to also recommend a change log format.

docs: netdev: convert to a non-FAQ document

2022-12-28T10:06:06+00:00

The netdev-FAQ document has grown over the years to the point where finding information in it is somewhat challenging. The length of the questions prevents readers from locating content that's relevant at a glance. Convert to a more standard documentation format with sections and sub-sections rather than questions and answers. The content edits are limited to what's necessary to change the format, and very minor clarifications.

docs: netdev: reshuffle sections in prep for de-FAQization

2022-12-28T10:06:06+00:00

Subsequent changes will reformat the doc away from FAQ. To make that more readable perform the pure section moves now. Reviewed-by: Randy Dunlap Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
