From: Peng Wang <rocking@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: ignore warning designated initializers using NR_CPUS Some max_length wants to hold as large room as possible to ensure enough size to tackle with the biggest NR_CPUS. An example below: kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c: static struct cftype legacy_files[] = { { .name = "cpus", .seq_show = cpuset_common_seq_show, .write = cpuset_write_resmask, .max_write_len = (100U + 6 * NR_CPUS), .private = FILE_CPULIST, }, ... } Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/5d4998aa8a8ac7efada2c7daffa9e73559f8b186.1609331255.git.rocking@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Peng Wang <rocking@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl~checkpatch-ignore-warning-designated-initializers-using-nr_cpus +++ a/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -7025,12 +7025,14 @@ sub process { # use of NR_CPUS is usually wrong # ignore definitions of NR_CPUS and usage to define arrays as likely right +# ignore designated initializers using NR_CPUS if ($line =~ /\bNR_CPUS\b/ && $line !~ /^.\s*\s*#\s*if\b.*\bNR_CPUS\b/ && $line !~ /^.\s*\s*#\s*define\b.*\bNR_CPUS\b/ && $line !~ /^.\s*$Declare\s.*\[[^\]]*NR_CPUS[^\]]*\]/ && $line !~ /\[[^\]]*\.\.\.[^\]]*NR_CPUS[^\]]*\]/ && - $line !~ /\[[^\]]*NR_CPUS[^\]]*\.\.\.[^\]]*\]/) + $line !~ /\[[^\]]*NR_CPUS[^\]]*\.\.\.[^\]]*\]/ && + $line !~ /^.\s*\.\w+\s*=\s*.*\bNR_CPUS\b/) { WARN("NR_CPUS", "usage of NR_CPUS is often wrong - consider using cpu_possible(), num_possible_cpus(), for_each_possible_cpu(), etc\n" . $herecurr); _
