scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add --pattern-depth
--pattern-depth is used to control how many levels of directory traversal
should be performed to find maintainers. default is 0 (all directory levels).
For instance:
MAINTAINERS currently has multiple M: and F: entries that match
net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c
IPVS
M: Wensong Zhang <[email protected]>
M: Simon Horman <[email protected]>
M: Julian Anastasov <[email protected]>
[...]
F: net/netfilter/ipvs/
NETFILTER/IPTABLES/IPCHAINS
[...]
M: Patrick McHardy <[email protected]>
[...]
F: net/netfilter/
NETWORKING [GENERAL]
M: "David S. Miller" <[email protected]>
[...]
F: net/
THE REST
M: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
[...]
F: */
Using this command will return all of those maintainers:
(except Linus unless --git-chief-maintainers is specified)
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -nol \
-f net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c
Julian Anastasov <[email protected]>
Simon Horman <[email protected]>
Wensong Zhang <[email protected]>
Patrick McHardy <[email protected]>
David S. Miller <[email protected]>
Adding --pattern-depth=1 will match at the deepest level
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -nol --pattern-depth=1 \
-f net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c
Julian Anastasov <[email protected]>
Simon Horman <[email protected]>
Wensong Zhang <[email protected]>
Adding --pattern-depth=2 will match at the deepest level and 1 higher
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -nol --pattern-depth=2 \
-f net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c
Julian Anastasov <[email protected]>
Simon Horman <[email protected]>
Wensong Zhang <[email protected]>
Patrick McHardy <[email protected]>
and so on.
