Re: [PATCH V2] Test compaction of mlocked memory

[Sri]

Hi Shuah,

This is what I see when I check the patch against the script,

linux-stable$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl
0001-Test-compaction-of-mlocked-memory.patch
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#72:
new file mode 100644

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 256 lines checked

0001-Test-compaction-of-mlocked-memory.patch has style problems, please
review.

If any of these errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.


That was the only warning I saw even before I submitted the patch. I'm
not sure how the whitespaces are introduced...

Thanks

-Sri
