Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Improve tests for fixes:, long lines and stack dumps in commit log
Date: Fri, 09 Oct 2015 11:33:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444415626.2829.17.camel@perches.com> (raw)
Including BUG and stack dumps in commit logs makes checkpatch
produce some false positive warning messages.
checkpatch has multiple types of false positives:
o Commit message lines > 75 chars
o Stack dump address are mistaken for git commit IDs
o Link: and Fixes: lines are allowed to be > 75 chars.
o Fixes: style doesn't require ("<commit_description>")
parentheses and double quotes like other uses of
git commit ID and description.
Fix these.
Miscellanea:
o Move the test for checking $commit_log_possible_stack_dump
above the test for a long line commit message
o Add test for hex address surrounded by square or angle brackets
