To make sure: grep -r --include=*.c skbip_a * | wc ==> 0 results grep -r --include=*.c skb_ip_a * | wc ==> 112 results Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200407190029.892-1-christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl~checkpatch-fix-a-typo-in-the-regex-for-allocfunctions +++ a/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -479,7 +479,7 @@ our $allocFunctions = qr{(?x: (?:kv|k|v)[czm]alloc(?:_node|_array)? | kstrdup(?:_const)? | kmemdup(?:_nul)?) | - (?:\w+)?alloc_skb(?:ip_align)? | + (?:\w+)?alloc_skb(?:_ip_align)? | # dev_alloc_skb/netdev_alloc_skb, et al dma_alloc_coherent )}; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx are lib-math-avoid-trailing-n-hidden-in-pr_fmt.patch checkpatch-fix-a-typo-in-the-regex-for-allocfunctions.patch
