It's not in CondingStyle; I prefer to outdent labels by one tab stop:

			if (!page_has_buffers(page)) {
				if (block_prepare_write(page, 0, len,
						noalloc_get_block_write)) {
				redirty_page:
					redirty_page_for_writepage(mpd->wbc,
								   page);
					unlock_page(page);
					continue;
				}
				commit_write = 1;
			}

... and I hereby serve notice that if I start getting trash patches
from newbies about checkpatch.pl warning/errors for stuff like this,
I'll will (a) toast them and tell them they are wasting their time
with checkpatch.pl, and (b) agitate strongly for the removal of such
trash checkpatch.pl or for checkpatch.pl as a whole, as being harmful
to kernel development.
