Subject[PATCH] Documentation/submitting-patches: Document RESEND tag on patches
Hi Jon,

here's the next piece of documentation which should be generic enough.

Thx.

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2021 13:26:29 +0200

Explain when a submitter should tag a patch or a patch series with the
"RESEND" tag.

This has been partially carved out from a tip subsystem handbook
patchset by Thomas Gleixner:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181107171010.421878737@linutronix.de

and incorporates follow-on comments.

one week before resubmitting or pinging reviewers - possibly longer during
busy times like merge windows.

+Don't add "RESEND" when you are submitting a modified version of your

+patch or patch series which have not been modified in any way from the
+previous submission.
