I always add a [footer] when folding -fixes, eg: [sj@kernel.org: verify found biggest system ram] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260317144725.88524-1-sj@kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260311052927.93921-3-sj@kernel.org Signed-off-by: SeongJae Park Cc: Yang yingliang So one can simply chase the link. An unfortunate exception is when the -fix is from myself - I don't take the patch from a mailing list so I have no Link: to include, eg [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix spello, add comment] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260220151500.13585-1-rioo.tsukatsukii@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Rio Cc: Joel Granados Cc: Petr Mladek Cc: Wang Jinchao Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton But these things are usually quite minor and the precipitating discussion can be found by reading the main Link:. > Maybe just directly squash the commits? Not understanding this proposal?
