* checkpatch: allow commit descriptions on separate line from commit idJoe Perches2014-09-111-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The general form for commit id and description is 'Commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit description/subject line")' but commit logs often have relatively long commit ids and the commit description emds on the next line like: Some explanation as to why commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit foo description/subject line") is improved. Allow this form.

* checkpatch: relax check for length of git commit IDsJoe Perches2014-08-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Checkpatch currently warns if a git commit ID (in the changelog, usually) is less than 12 characters or more than 16. The "more than 16" is excessive. Change the check so we accept IDs from 12 to 40 chars in length.

* checkpatch: warn on missing spaces in broken up quotedDan Carpenter2014-08-071-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Checkpatch already complains when people break up quoted strings but it's still pretty common. One mistake that people often make is they leave out the space character between the two strings. This check adds around 450 new warnings and has a low rate of false positives.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 89da401f6cff ("checkpatch: improve "no space after cast" test") in -next improved the cast test for non pointer types, but also introduced false positives for some types of static inlines.

* checkpatch: add test for native c90 types in unusual orderJoe Perches2014-08-071-0/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | c90 section "6.7.2 Type Specifiers" says: "type specifiers may occur in any order" That means that: short int is the same as int short unsigned short int is the same as int unsigned short etc... checkpatch currently parses only a subset of these allowed types. For instance: "unsigned short" and "signed short" are found by checkpatch as a specific type, but none of the or "int short" or "int signed short" variants are found. Add another table for the "kernel style misordered" variants. Add this misordered table to the findable types. Warn when the misordered style is used. This improves the "Missing a blank line after declarations" test as it depends on the correct parsing of the $Declare variable which looks for "$Type $Ident;" (ie: declarations like "int foo;").

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump done by the memory subsystem. These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value. Emit a warning on these types of messages. This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo = kmalloc()" ie: this code matches: foo = kmalloc(); if (foo == NULL) { printk("Out of memory\n"); return -ENOMEM; } This test is very crude and incomplete. This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this specific form. ie: this code does not match: foo = kmalloc(); if (!foo) { rtn = -ENOMEM; printk("Out of memory!\n"); goto out; } This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false positives in my limited testing. spatch could be a better solution but correctness seems non-trivial for that tool too.

* checkpatch.pl: add check for Change-IdChristopher Covington2014-04-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A commit hook for the Gerrit code review server [1] inserts change identifiers so Gerrit can track patches through multiple revisions. These identifiers are noise in the context of the upstream kernel. (Many Gerrit servers are private. Even given a public instance, given only a Change-Id, one must guess which server a change was tracked on. Patches submitted to the Linux kernel mailing lists should be able to stand on their own. If it's truly useful to reference code review on a Gerrit server, a URL is a much clearer way to do so.) Thus, issue an error when a Change-Id line is encountered before the Signed-off-by. 1. https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/master/gerrit-server/src/main/resources/com/google/gerrit/server/tools/root/hooks/commit-msg Signed-off-by: Christopher Covington <cov@codeaurora.org> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* scripts/checkpatch.pl: __GFP_NOFAIL isn't going awayAndrew Morton2014-04-041-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert commit 7e4915e78992 ("checkpatch: add warning of future __GFP_NOFAIL use"). There are no plans to remove __GFP_NOFAIL. __GFP_NOFAIL exists to a) centralise the retry-allocation-for-ever operation into the core allocator, which is the appropriate implementation site and b) permit us to identify code sites which aren't handling memory exhaustion appropriately.

* checkpatch: net and drivers/net: warn on missing blank line after variable ↵Joe Perches2014-04-041-0/+15

Networking uses: void foo(int bar) { int baz; code... } not void foo(int bar) { int baz; code... } There are a limited number of false positives when using macros to declare variables like: WARNING: networking uses a blank line after declarations #330: FILE: net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c:330: + int dif = sk->sk_bound_dev_if; + INET_ADDR_COOKIE(acookie, saddr, daddr) Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
