The command "make -j8 C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" produces lots of "coccicheck failed" error messages. I do not know the coccinelle internals, but I guess --jobs does not work well if spatch is invoked from Make running in parallel. Disable --jobs in this case. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - Grep '-j' instead of '--jobserver-auth'. '--jobserver-*' is not a stable option flag. Make 4.2 change '--jobserver-fds' into '--jobserver-auth' - Add -q option to grep scripts/coccicheck | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/scripts/coccicheck b/scripts/coccicheck index 040a8b1..8bab11e 100755 --- a/scripts/coccicheck +++ b/scripts/coccicheck @@ -70,6 +70,9 @@ if [ "$C" = "1" -o "$C" = "2" ]; then # Take only the last argument, which is the C file to test shift $(( $# - 1 )) OPTIONS="$COCCIINCLUDE $1" + + # --jobs does not work if Make is running in parallel + echo $MAKEFLAGS | grep -q -E '(^| )-j' && USE_JOBS="no" else ONLINE=0 if [ "$KBUILD_EXTMOD" = "" ] ; then -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
