[PATCH v4 0/2] Recommend denylist/allowlist instead of blacklist/whitelist

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Thu Jun 11 2020 - 02:26:32 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

This patchset 1) adds support of deprecated terms in the 'checkpatch.pl'
and 2) set the 'blacklist' and 'whitelist' as deprecated with
replacement suggestion of 'denylist' and 'allowlist', because the
suggestions are incontrovertible, doesn't make people hurt, and more
self-explanatory.

The patches are based on latest 'next/master'. You can get the complete
