KeesCook: process overview

process overview

New page

= Overview =
The primary place where patches are tracked is through our [https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-hardening/list/|patchwork instance]. This helps collect Reviewed-by, Acked-by, Tested-by, etc, tags in a single place to see status.

= Process =

The overview list shows patches that need some kind of work to move through the tracking process:

* [https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-hardening/list/|Action Needed]: Needs work from someone from the linux-hardening patchwork team.

The specific "state machine" we use follows this path:

* [https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-hardening/list/?series=&submitter=&state=1&q=&archive=&delegate=|New]: No activity yet.
* Move to "Under Review" (possibly with a delegate assigned to do the review).
* Move to "Superseded" if a newer version of the same patch has been sent (the patchwork-bot usually does this automatically).
* [https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-hardening/list/?series=&submitter=&state=2&q=&archive=&delegate=|Under Review]: Reviewers need to give feedback on the patch.
* Move to "Changes Requested" if a new version of the patch is needed after review feedback.
* Move to "Handled Elsewhere" if a non-linux-hardening tree says they are applying the patch.
* Move to "Queued" if a linux-hardening tree applies the patch.
