From c76f4cb3d25e5dc84017d7e845072e9aef6037f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:54:46 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: improve space before tab --fix option This test should remove all the spaces before a tab not just one space. Substitute a tab for each 8 space block before a tab and remove less than 8 spaces before a tab. This SPACE_BEFORE_TAB test is done after CODE_INDENT. If there are spaces used at the beginning of a line that should be converted to tabs, please make sure that the CODE_INDENT test and conversion is done before this SPACE_BEFORE_TAB test and conversion.
