I would like to contribute another bit of patch review for your proposal. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10524633/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1531555951-9627-1-git-send-email-asmadeus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ * I have noticed that an action word was missing in the commit subject. * The commit description was started with the wording “Besides being simpler, …”. I would prefer an other ordering of information there. It seems that the mentioned compilation error gave you motivation for the shown source code transformation. I suggest to move the concrete update suggestion behind it. > +virtual patch > +virtual report > +virtual org How do you think about to reduce a bit of code repetition? +virtual patch, report, org > In particular, I have conciously not removed the intermediate msg > variable; as I made the message longer I actually added one more of > these for the org mode section. I propose again to reconsider such an implementation detail once more so that unnecessary Python code could be avoided. The Linux coding style supports the usage of long message strings. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst?id=2db39a2f491a48ec740e0214a7dd584eefc2137d#n81 Can string literals be nicer than extra variables (because of questionable source code layout concerns)?
