Subject: checkpatch: reduce runtime/cpu time used
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1b5539b1ffbdcf7113eebea7f37141d4468d9070;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

checkpatch: reduce runtime/cpu time used

There are some cases where checkpatch can take a long time to complete.
Reduce the likelihood of this long run-time by adding a new test for lines
with and without comments and eliminating checks on lines with only
comments.

This reduces the number of "ctx_statement_block" calls, and also the
number of tests of $stat, which is now undefined for these blank lines.

One test in particular, the "check for switch/default statements without a
break", could take an extremely long time to parse as it tries to skip
interleaving comments within the ctx_statement_block/$stat and that could
be done multiple times unnecessarily.

A small test case taken from cfg80211.h before this patch would take
1000's of seconds to run, now it's just a couple seconds.
