From da7355ab4e4a0021924e87acce2b9fb7e6f3264e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aditya Srivastava Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2020 20:45:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: add fix option for ASSIGNMENT_CONTINUATIONS Currently, checkpatch warns us if an assignment operator is placed at the start of a line and not at the end of previous line. E.g., running checkpatch on commit 8195b1396ec8 ("hv_netvsc: fix deadlock on hotplug") reports: CHECK: Assignment operator '=' should be on the previous line + struct netvsc_device *nvdev + = container_of(w, struct netvsc_device, subchan_work); Provide a simple fix by appending assignment operator to the previous line and removing from the current line, if both the lines are additions (ie start with '+') Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201121120407.22942-1-yashsri421@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Aditya Srivastava Acked-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index fdfd5ec09be6..7dc094445d83 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -3533,8 +3533,14 @@ sub process { # check for assignments on the start of a line if ($sline =~ /^\+\s+($Assignment)[^=]/) { - CHK("ASSIGNMENT_CONTINUATIONS", - "Assignment operator '$1' should be on the previous line\n" . $hereprev); + my $operator = $1; + if (CHK("ASSIGNMENT_CONTINUATIONS", + "Assignment operator '$1' should be on the previous line\n" . $hereprev) && + $fix && $prevrawline =~ /^\+/) { + # add assignment operator to the previous line, remove from current line + $fixed[$fixlinenr - 1] .= " $operator"; + $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/\Q$operator\E\s*//; + } } # check for && or || at the start of a line
