Subject: [PATCH v2] devtools: fix symbol change check for non-lib patches
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 12:50:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305105016.1093351-1-alialnu@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260305091039.1057276-1-alialnu@nvidia.com>
Handle patches that do not touch lib/drivers (e.g. doc-only) without
crashing. Treat every '--- a/' line as the start of a new file: if the
path is under lib/ or drivers/, set lib and process symbol lines;
otherwise set lib to None and ignore lines until the next file. This
avoids both NameError exceptions and misattributing export-like lines
from doc (or other) files to the previous lib when file order varies.
Fixes: 1a0c104a7fa9 ("build: generate symbol maps")

v2:
Treat every '--- a/' as a new file: set lib only for paths under lib/
or drivers/, otherwise set lib to None and skip lines until the next
file, so behavior no longer depends on patch file order.
