Subject: Re: [LTP] [PATCH] cfs-scheduler: Fixed "make check" errors and warnings.
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 11:54:18 +0200	[thread overview]

Hi Samir,

> Fixed all make check errors and warnings in cfs_bandwidth01.c and
> hackbench.c to comply with LTP coding style.

I guess you get that info with make check (which is using checkpatch.pl and
other code).

> cfs_bandwidth01.c:
> - Remove initialization of static variable to 0

> hackbench.c:
FYI hackbench.c would deserve to rewrite into new C API. With that many of your
fixes would be not needed because the old code would be deleted.

FYI we add SPDX only to files which has been converted into new LTP API. I'm ok
to change it, but it would require to add additional cleanup.

Hm, how about to add their mails in copyright section and remove this?

I would remove this (we have git history anyway) and move him to copyright
section.

Adding va_*() just to post the name of the function looks useless for me.

+1, assigning variables is really better out of if / while,
although here it's safe, because num_groups is initialized to 10.
