2013-04-29checkpatch: add Suggested-by as a standard signatureMugunthan V N
As people started using Suggested-by as standard signature, adding "Suggested-by" to the standard signature so that checkpatch won't generate warning when Suggested-by is used in patch signature Signed-off-by: Mugunthan V N <mugunthanvnm@ti.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-04-29checkpatch: only warn for empty lines before closing braces by themselvesMatthijs Kooijman
This check was intended to catch extra newlines at the end of a function definition, but it would trigger on any closing brace, including those of inline functions and macro definitions, triggering false positives. Now, only closing braces on a line by themselves trigger this check. Tested with: $ cat test.h /* test.h - Test file */ static inline int foo(void) { return 0; } static inline int bar(void) { return 1; } $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -f test.h # Before this commit CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}' + +static inline int foo(void) { return 0; } CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}' + +} total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 2 checks, 9 lines checked $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -f test.h # After this commit CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}' + +} total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 1 checks, 9 lines checked Signed-off-by: Matthijs Kooijman <matthijs@stdin.nl> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
