Hello Maintainers:

I find some of patches are only Signed-of-by me, are they OK?

e.g:

commit d7de15786d1a10fa18b80fd44026d442e7a84bd2
Author: Chen Gang <gang.chen.5i5j@gmail.com>
Date:   Tue Apr 15 09:21:30 2014 +0800

    arch:unicore32:mm: add devmem_is_allowed() to support STRICT_DEVMEM
    
    unicore32 supports STRICT_DEVMEM, so it needs devmem_is_allowed(), like
    some of other architectures have done (e.g. arm, powerpc, x86 ...).
    
    The related error with allmodconfig:
    
        CC      drivers/char/mem.o
      drivers/char/mem.c: In function â<U+0080><U+0098>range_is_allowedâ<U+0080><U+0099>:
      drivers/char/mem.c:69: error: implicit declaration of function â<U+0080><U+0098>devmem_is_allowedâ<U+0080><U+0099>
      make[2]: *** [drivers/char/mem.o] Error 1
      make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
      make: *** [drivers] Error 2
    
    Signed-off-by: Chen Gang <gang.chen.5i5j@gmail.com>
    Acked-by: Xuetao Guan <gxt@mprc.pku.edu.cn>


Thanks.

Hi Chen,

Actually, this one is not OK.  Anyone who handles a patch needs to add a
Signed-off-by.  In the case below, that patch was commited to the tree
by Guan Xuetao <gxt@mprc.pku.edu.cn>, so there needs to be a
Signed-off-by from them as well.

The same is true for all the commits in the unicore32 tree ...

Ok, I see.

Then, do I need to reply each mail with my sob? Or only replace acked-by by sob for all commits in my tree?

You do not need to reply to each email, but any patch that you send on
to Linus (or someone else) needs to have your Signed-off-by.  Please
read the "Developer's Certificate of Origin" in section 12 of
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

I see. What I misunderstood is that acked-by had similar functions.
Thanks.
