From 7d2367af0b09f8028dc5c1b1919bb82d141c2afb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:13:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: suggest using min_t or max_t A common issue with min() or max() is using a cast on one or both of the arguments when using min_t/max_t could be better. Add cast detection to uses of min/max and suggest an appropriate use of min_t or max_t instead. Caveat: This only works for min() or max() on a single line. It does not find min() or max() split across multiple lines. This does find: min((u32)foo, bar); But it does not find: max((unsigned long)foo, bar); Suggested-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
