(Randy actually gutted quite a lot of what I originally wrote, so deserves much kudos for improving this beyond my initial crappy version). You can find the script at http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/checkpatch/ There's also a git clonable tree there (only http right now). http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/checkpatch/example.log shows what fell out of running it on my mbox of lkml from the past month. Some of them are kinda noisy, and perhaps should be moved under --pedantic I'm all ears for additional regexps, bug reports or other suggestions. Before wiring this up to a procmail rule to scan every patch, I think it's probably a better idea to flesh it out a bit more.
