SubjectRe: [PATCH v5 1/4] KVM: x86: Clarify the kvm_run.emulation_failure structure layout
On Thu, Sep 16, 2021, David Edmondson wrote:

For all these patches, assuming you want the Author credit to go to your @oracle.com
email, they need an explicit

From: David Edmondson <david.edmondson@oracle.com>

otherwise git will default to the "From" email header and make the Author
"David Edmondson <dme@dme.org>". And then checkpatch will rightly complain that
the SOB does not match the Author.

Adding From: can be handled automatically by "git format-patch" via "--from", e.g.

git format-patch --from="David Edmondson <dme@dme.org>" ...
