just curious if there's still value in running my kernel scanning
scripts after each merge window closes and posting results. there's
still a fair bit of inconsistency and mismatches in the Kconfig files.
as a single example, here's a snippet from the
drivers/message/fusion directory, identifying an apparently bad
reference to a non-existent CONFIG variable:
>>>>> FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:179:#ifdef CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:180:#if CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE < 16
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:182:#elif CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE > 256
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:185:#define MPT_SCSI_FC_SG_DEPTH CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE
but there is no such Kconfig variable FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE. however:
$ grep -r FUSION_MAX drivers/message/fusion
drivers/message/fusion/Kconfig:config FUSION_MAX_SGE
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#ifdef CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_SGE
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#if CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_SGE < 16
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#elif CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_SGE > 128
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#define MPT_SCSI_SG_DEPTH CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_SGE
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#ifdef CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#if CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE < 16
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#elif CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE > 256
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#define MPT_SCSI_FC_SG_DEPTH CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE
$
so is that a typo? should "FUSION_MAX_FC_SGE" really be just
"FUSION_MAX_SGE"? anyway, you get the idea. or maybe i should just
put the scripts up at my wiki and people can run their at their
leisure on whatever part of the source tree interests them.

Yes, please.
AFAIK, the fusion maintainer doesn't read lkml.

have fun. (only the first script is there at the moment, additional
scripts to appear shortly.)
