Subject: [PATCH] docs/mm: clarify that we are not looking for LLM generated content
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 23:03:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420-llmdoc-v1-1-47d2091177c4@kernel.org> (raw)
Let's make it clear that we are not looking for LLM generated content
from contributors not familiar with the details of MM, as it shifts the
real work onto reviewers.
