Andy,

Was running checkpatch.pl on the entire tree today (because my disk
loves to get thrashed like that...) Found what seems to be a stall/hang
while running checkpatch. I know nothing of the internal workings of
checkpatch.pl, but hope that you're able to sniff this one out!

./scripts/checkpatch.pl --file ./net/decnet/dn_fib.c --debug values=9
types=9 possible=9 attr=9
Hmmm, yes thats broken indeed. Will have a look at it.

Ok, think I have this one sorted. Could you test with the version of
checkpatch at this URL:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/apw/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl-testing

Thanks for the report.

Andy,

That did the trick. Thanks!

(Sorry if this was double-posted... user error the first time)
