From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: improve blank line after declaration test Avoid multiple false positives by ignoring attributes. Various attributes like volatile and ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp cause checkpatch to emit invalid "Missing a blank line after declarations" messages. Use copies of $sline and $prevline, remove $Attribute and $Sparse, and use the existing tests to avoid these false positives. Miscellanea: o Add volatile to $Attribute This also reduces checkpatch runtime a bit by moving the indentation comparison test to the start of the block to avoid multiple unnecessary regex tests.
