The testing is done by ensuring that the fragment allocated

Signed-off-by should be last. Same comment on all the other

Hi, Shuah

I used 'git am' to collect those tag, it seems that is the order
the tool applied, and I checking other applied commit, it seems
only Signed-off-by from the committer is the last, like the below
recent mm commit:

okay.

patches in this series. When you have 4 patches, it is a good
practice to add cover-letter.

I guess the cover-letter meant below?

Somehow this isn't in my Inbox.

Is this marker good enough to isolate the test results in the
dmesg? Include the test name in the message.

Usually the test would run dmesg and filter out the test results
from the dmesg and include them in the test script output.

You can refer to other tests that do that: powerpc/scripts/hmi.sh
is one example.

Thanks, will check that.

thanks,
