checkpatch: net and drivers/net: warn on missing blank line after variable declaration
Networking prefers this style, so warn when it's not used. Networking uses: void foo(int bar) { int baz; code... } not void foo(int bar) { int baz; code... } There are a limited number of false positives when using macros to declare variables like: WARNING: networking uses a blank line after declarations #330: FILE: net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c:330: + int dif = sk->sk_bound_dev_if; + INET_ADDR_COOKIE(acookie, saddr, daddr) Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
