As we do know where the actual error is report that line too with an appropriate gap marker where applicable. #ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line #1: FILE: Z202.c:1: + for (pbh = page_buffers(bh->b_page); pbh != bh; + pbh = pbh->b_this_page, key++); #ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line #4: FILE: Z202.c:4: + for (pbh = page_buffers(bh->b_page); [...] + pbh = pbh->b_this_page, key++); Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 11 ++++++++++- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN scripts/checkpatch.pl~checkpatch-trailing-statements-ensure-we-report-the-end-of-the-line scripts/checkpatch.pl --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl~checkpatch-trailing-statements-ensure-we-report-the-end-of-the-line +++ a/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -2001,7 +2001,16 @@ sub process { if (length($c) && $s !~ /^\s*{?\s*\\*\s*$/ && $c !~ /}\s*while\s*/) { - ERROR("trailing statements should be on next line\n" . $herecurr); + # Find out how long the conditional actually is. + my @newlines = ($c =~ /\n/gs); + my $cond_lines = 1 + $#newlines; + + my $stat_real = raw_line($linenr, $cond_lines); + if (defined($stat_real) && $cond_lines > 1) { + $stat_real = "[...]\n$stat_real"; + } + + ERROR("trailing statements should be on next line\n" . $herecurr . $stat_real); } } _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from apw@xxxxxxxxxxxx are mm-hugetlbc-make-functions-static-use-null-rather-than-0.patch checkpatch-square-brackets-exemption-for-array-slices-in-braces.patch checkpatch-values-double-ampersand-may-be-unary.patch checkpatch-conditional-indent-labels-have-different-indent-rules.patch checkpatch-switch-indent-allow-plain-return.patch checkpatch-add-tests-for-the-attribute-matcher.patch checkpatch-____cacheline_aligned-et-al-are-modifiers.patch checkpatch-complex-macros-fix-up-extension-handling.patch checkpatch-fix-up-comment-checks-search-to-scan-the-entire-block.patch checkpatch-include-asm-checks-should-be-anchored.patch checkpatch-reduce-warnings-for-include-of-asm-fooh-to-check-from-arch-barc.patch checkpatch-report-any-absolute-references-to-kernel-source-files.patch checkpatch-report-the-real-first-line-of-all-suspect-indents.patch checkpatch-suspect-indent-skip-over-preprocessor-label-and-blank-lines.patch checkpatch-%lx-tests-should-hand-%%-as-a-literal.patch checkpatch-report-the-correct-lines-for-single-statement-blocks.patch checkpatch-perform-indent-checks-on-perl.patch checkpatch-version-022.patch checkpatch-case-default-checks-should-only-check-changed-lines.patch checkpatch-suppress-errors-triggered-by-short-patch.patch checkpatch-handle-comment-quote-nesting-correctly.patch checkpatch-check-line-endings-in-text-format-files.patch checkpatch-suspect-indent-count-condition-lines-correctly.patch checkpatch-ensure-we-only-apply-checks-to-the-lines-within-hunks.patch checkpatch-version-023.patch checkpatch-do-is-not-a-possible-type.patch checkpatch-labels-are-not-possible-types.patch checkpatch-handle-do-without-braces-if-we-have-enough-context.patch checkpatch-macros-which-define-structure-members-are-not-complex.patch checkpatch-accept-any-sized-le-be-type.patch checkpatch-pull-out-known-acceptable-typedefs.patch checkpatch-suspect-code-indent-must-stop-at-else-elif.patch checkpatch-complex-macros-checks-miss-square-brackets.patch checkpatch-define_-macros-are-real-definitions-for-exports.patch checkpatch-trailing-statements-ensure-we-report-the-end-of-the-line.patch checkpatch-suspect-indent-handle-macro-continuation.patch checkpatch-allow-for-comments-either-side-of-a-brace-on-case.patch checkpatch-version-024.patch page-owner-tracking-leak-detector.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
