The last should and will be fixed. The // I don't really care about.
Send a patch if you do.
Going over my logfs patch, I found several things that are either false
positives or rather questionable in my book. <adds Andy to Cc:>
(foo*) should be (foo *)
What does that extra space gain us?
ERROR: no space before that close parenthesis ')'
#2565: FILE: fs/logfs/gc.c:294:
+ seg_ofs + sizeof(oh) < super->s_segsize; ) {
Actual code is this:
for (seg_ofs = LOGFS_SEGMENT_HEADERSIZE;
seg_ofs + sizeof(oh) < super->s_segsize; ) {
The for() loop is missing one of its three terms. I assume this is one
of the effects of not having a perfect C parser.
ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line
#5000: FILE: fs/logfs/readwrite.c:203:
+ } else while (unlikely(TestSetPageLocked(page))) {
We have an explicit exception for "else if". "else while" makes imo
just as much (or as little) sense.
ERROR: need space after that ',' (ctx:VxV)
#5801: FILE: fs/logfs/readwrite.c:1004:
+ ret = logfs_segment_read(inode, ipage, this_wc->ofs, bix,level);
One of those examples where a missing space is the lesser of two or
three evils.
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '|' (ctx:WxV)
#8293: FILE: fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c:376:
+ |SLAB_MEM_SPREAD|SLAB_PANIC),
I have no idea what this is about. Original code:
mtd_cache = kmem_cache_create("mtd_cache", sizeof(struct mtd_inode), 0,
(SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN|SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT
|SLAB_MEM_SPREAD|SLAB_PANIC),
