[PATCH -v2] MAINTAINERS: Fix Intel TDX kernel file patterns

flat view

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>
Date: 2026-10-31 03:01:38
Also in: kvm, linux-coco, linux-renesas-soc, lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

A K: is a content regex file pattern which matches any text in a patch
so if a commit message contains "tdx" as in

  has_tdxe_auto_clear

for example, see

  https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261026-g2ul_sci-v3-3-b3097163edd5@bp.renesas.com (local)

get_maintainer.pl erroneously adds the x86 gang to the Cc list for what
obviously is a completely unrelated patch.

The same happens when someone uses it to check

  drivers/power/reset/tdx-ec-poweroff.c

patches.

So switch the x86 TDX patterns to files and directories (F:) wildcard
type patterns and group them by path, for less false positives.
