Update checkpatch to --fix all the calls too only when the code style form is using leading tabs. from: if (foo) <func>(foo); to: <func>(foo); Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff -puN scripts/checkpatch.pl~checkpatch-add-some-foo_destroy-functions-to-needless_if-tests scripts/checkpatch.pl --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl~checkpatch-add-some-foo_destroy-functions-to-needless_if-tests +++ a/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -4836,10 +4836,34 @@ sub process { # check for needless "if (<foo>) fn(<foo>)" uses if ($prevline =~ /\bif\s*\(\s*($Lval)\s*\)/) { - my $expr = '\s*\(\s*' . quotemeta($1) .
