Why?
I was following the error messages in checkpatch.pl, but the warning
went away after adding this line. No problem with the code.
That sounds like a bug in checkpatch.pl, since that blank line should be
tween the declaration and the function call.
checkpatch message asks for a blank line after the
"struct audit_entry *e = ..." declaration.
Well then maybe it is a bug in his interpretation of the output of
checkpatch.pl? Scott, did you re-run checkpatch.pl after adding those
spaces? Did it pass?
The error did go away.
Joe, I confirm the error went away. Looks like a bug in checkpatch.pl
to me. I tried a number of combinations of things and it didn't
complain about several things it should have. I did try a few other
things to make sure it was still finding problems like brace placement
and leading spaces, but it looks like the blank line checking code isn't
working. This is on 4.0, so maybe it has been fixed since then. Scott,
what kernel version are you using?
I had just cloned Linus' repo, so v4.3rc6.
while (*list != ~0U) {
+
unsigned n = *list++;
if (n >= AUDIT_BITMASK_SIZE * 32 - AUDIT_SYSCALL_CLASSES) {
kfree(p);
Why?
This is the same as above. Just going through the checkpatch.pl
script, and looking for warnings to fix.
Again, another manifestation of that bug? That blank line should be
after the declaration and before the if statement.

Well, I agree, you have to start somewhere... Too bad you hit a bug in
checkpatch.pl!
Here too, not a bug in checkpatch.
checkpatch output asks for a blank line after the
"unsigned n" declaration, not before.
