Dear Joe, while running checkpatch.pl -f on all files in the kernel repository (v6.8-rc1) for some experiment, I noticed that checkpatch.pl got stuck on mm/kmsan/kmsan_test.c, i.e., ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f mm/kmsan/kmsan_test.c never terminates. I could already boil it down to checkpatch getting stuck on the macro #define DEFINE_TEST_MEMSETXX(size), see lines 541 to 554 in mm/kmsan/kmsan_test.c on v6.8-rc1. I do not know if it is worth fixing, but certainly I was surprised that reasonable code can put checkpatch into some stuck state. Best regards, Lukas
