From 2b474a1a566064b40bc7d9a45021ffbc4c894fa3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Whitcroft Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:50:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: fix false EXPORT_SYMBOL warning Ingo reported that the following lines triggered a false warning, static struct lock_class_key rcu_lock_key; struct lockdep_map rcu_lock_map = STATIC_LOCKDEP_MAP_INIT("rcu_read_lock", &rcu_lock_key); EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map); from kernel/rcutree.c , and the false warning looked like this, WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its function/variable +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map); We actually should be checking the statement before the EXPORT_* for a mention of the exported object, and complain where it is not there.
