The patch titled Subject: checkpatch: improve macros with flow control test has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was checkpatch-improve-macros-with-flow-control-test.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: improve macros with flow control test The current test excludes any macro with ## concatenation from being reported with hidden flow control. Some macros are used with return or goto statements along with ##args or ##__VA_ARGS__. A somewhat common case is a logging macro like pr_info(fmt, ...) then a return or goto statement. Check the concatenated variable for args or __VA_ARGS__ and allow those macros to also be reported when they contain a return or goto.
