From 52131292c069b74f4b5f3c786ff66ff6e82b0e69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wolfram Sang Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 13:43:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: fix false positive on __initconst checkpatch falsely complained about '__initconst' because it thought the 'const' needed a space before. Fix this by changing the list of attributes: - add '__initconst' - force plain 'init' to contain a word-boundary at the end Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang Cc: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index 9a3894dbf752..1530dbf1dab5 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -145,11 +145,14 @@ our $Sparse = qr{ __kprobes| __ref }x; + +# Notes to $Attribute: +# We need \b after 'init' otherwise 'initconst' will cause a false positive in a check our $Attribute = qr{ const| __read_mostly| __kprobes| - __(?:mem|cpu|dev|)(?:initdata|init)| + __(?:mem|cpu|dev|)(?:initdata|initconst|init\b)| ____cacheline_aligned| ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp| ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp| -- 2.20.1
