Because of how patchew works, the patch email in question went through "git am", "git push" then "git fetch", and eventually it's the output of "git show --format=email" that is fed to checkpatch.pl. Something went wrong with these git commands but I don't know why. :( To reproduce the last step (which looks the most suspicious to me, maybe you have an idea), try this on your machine: $ git fetch https://github.com/patchew-project/qemu \ patchew/1478887767-31980-1-git-send-email-...@redhat.com From https://github.com/patchew-project/qemu * tag patchew/1478887767-31980-1-git-send-email-...@redhat.com -> FETCH_HEAD $ git show c19172474cd8da8375307b324344345ad7ad01ca --format=email \ | ./scripts/checkpatch.pl - ERROR: Invalid UTF-8, patch and commit message should be encoded in UTF-8 #75: FILE: contrib/libvhost-user/libvhost-user.c:9: + * Marc-Andr� Lureau <mlur...@redhat.com> ^ ERROR: Invalid UTF-8, patch and commit message should be encoded in UTF-8 #1579: FILE: contrib/libvhost-user/libvhost-user.h:8: + * Marc-Andr� Lureau <mlur...@redhat.com> ^ total: 2 errors, 0 warnings, 1950 lines checked Your patch has style problems, please review. If any of these errors are false positives report them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS. $ Fam
