checkpatch: allow for comments either side of a brace on case

2008-10-16T18:21:37Z

When specifying case we may have comments and/or braces at the end without actually having a 'statement'. Allow for these to occur in any order. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: suspect indent handle macro continuation

2008-10-16T18:21:37Z

When ignoring a macro in the middle of a conditional, we need to ignore the macro start and any continuation lines. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: trailing statements ensure we report the end of the line

2008-10-16T18:21:37Z

When reporting some complex trailing statements we report only the starting line of the error, that tends to imply the shown line is in error and confuse the reader. As we do know where the actual error is report that line too with an appropriate gap marker where applicable. #ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line #1: FILE: Z202.c:1: + for (pbh = page_buffers(bh->b_page); pbh != bh; + pbh = pbh->b_this_page, key++); #ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line #4: FILE: Z202.c:4: + for (pbh = page_buffers(bh->b_page); [...] + pbh = pbh->b_this_page, key++); Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: DEFINE_ macros are real definitions for exports

2008-10-16T18:21:37Z

When we want to confirm an export is directly after its definition we need to allow for DEFINE_ style macros. Add these to the execeptions. Refactor the exceptions. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: complex macros checks miss square brackets

2008-10-16T18:21:37Z

We are missing 'simple' values which include square brackets. Refactor to ensure we handle nesting correctly and detect these simple forms. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: suspect code indent must stop at #else/#elif

2008-10-16T18:21:37Z

When we hit and #else or #elif we know we are meeting an alternative piece of code. All bets are off on indent if we did not see the open of the control so stop checking. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: pull out known acceptable typedefs

2008-10-16T18:21:37Z

Within the type checker we have a number of common kernel types which must be implemented as typedefs. Pull those out so that we can use the same expressions to trigger exclusions. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

checkpatch: accept any sized le/be type

2008-10-16T18:21:37Z

We are likely going to have 24 bit types. Expand the type matcher to match any size. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
