From 62e15a6daab0f6b3e8233e976201bce9faecaaf7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2016 14:59:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: improve macros with flow control test The current test excludes any macro with ## concatenation from being reported with hidden flow control. Some macros are used with return or goto statements along with ##args or ##__VA_ARGS__. A somewhat common case is a logging macro like pr_info(fmt, ...) then a return or goto statement. Check the concatenated variable for args or __VA_ARGS__ and allow those macros to also be reported when they contain a return or goto.
