Subject: False positive in checkpatch
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:59:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130923225949.GA26278@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello!

The checkpatch.pl script complains as follows:

ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB)
#57: FILE: include/linux/rcupdate.h:564:
+		ACCESS_ONCE(p) = (typeof(*(v)) __force space *)(v); \

Of course, the two uses of '*' are doing different things, so it should
be OK for the spacing to be different.

Could you please fix this?

							Thanx, Paul
