I wanted to start with approach one error one folder so I did “space prohibited before ,” in just hotplug folder. I used checkpatch script to see if I nailed it and the output was fine. When I do grep -rl I also get the same result eventhou when I look at the, for example, drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c there is no space before comma anywhere. I double checked it. I didn’t do header files unfortunately so that errors are expected I guess. ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --file --terse drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:190: WARNING: Block comments use * on subsequent lines drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:264: WARNING: line over 80 characters drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:265: WARNING: line over 80 characters drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:344: ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:359: ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:439: WARNING: Possible unnecessary 'out of memory' message drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:463: WARNING: space prohibited between function name and open parenthesis '(' drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:478: WARNING: space prohibited between function name and open parenthesis '(' drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:569: WARNING: space prohibited between function name and open parenthesis '(' drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c:626: WARNING: space prohibited between function name and open parenthesis ‘(' total: 2 errors, 8 warnings, 730 lines checked I used objdiff to record and see if I didn’t change anything and I got no output so I guess all is good, don’t know why grep finds “ ,” it is a mystery to me since I am on my working branch, looking at a file and it is not there. Can you also take a look on your side ? I wanted to do one small thing and when I see that it is good and accepted from you then do all warnings and errors one by one.
