Hey, checkpatch.pl generated two errors , because the dereferencing operator was placed next to the structure name instead of being placed with the pointer . for eg: struct scatterlist* srcSgl; (this was giving an error) whereas struct scatterlist *srcSgl; (this did not give an error) Both of them will compile , but the second one is a better representation of it and does not produce an error on running checkpatch.pl .
