Don't use checkpatch --strict ever. It's full of weird items that defintively don't apply to the majority of the kernel code base. > Where are the guidelines for when one can ignore checkpatch and when they can > not? It would be nice to know when we can "be developers" vs "being robots to > some tool". I think checkpatch is generally useful, and the errors without --strict are something we I haven't found any false positives. The warnings are about 90% useful but something are just weird. For --strict all bets are off. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
