Some of the block comment tests that are used only for networking are
appropriate for all patches.
For example, these styles are not encouraged:
/*
block comment without introductory *
*/
and
/*
* block comment with line terminating */
Remove the networking specific test and add comments.
There are some infrequent false positives where code is lazily
commented out using /* and */ rather than using #if 0/#endif blocks
like:
/* case foo:
case bar: */
case baz:

Sergey Senozhatsky has modified several destroy functions that can
now be called with NULL values.
- kmem_cache_destroy()
- mempool_destroy()
- dma_pool_destroy()
Update checkpatch to warn when those functions are preceded by an if.
Update checkpatch to --fix all the calls too only when the code style
form is using leading tabs.

For instance;
DEFINE_DMA_BUF_EXPORT_INFO(exp_info);
and
DECLARE_DM_KCOPYD_THROTTLE_WITH_MODULE_PARM(name, description)

Many lines exist like
if (foo)
bar;
where the tabbed indentation of the branch is not one more than the "if"
line above it.
checkpatch should emit a warning on those lines.
Miscellenea:
o Remove comments from branch blocks
o Skip blank lines in block

Using BUG/BUG_ON crashes the kernel and is just unfriendly.
Enable code that emits a warning on BUG/BUG_ON use.
Make the code emit the message at WARNING level when scanning a patch and
at CHECK level when scanning files so that script users don't feel an
obligation to fix code that might be above their pay grade.

In kmalloc_oob_krealloc_less, I think it is better to test
the size2 boundary.
If we do not call krealloc, the access of position size1 will still cause
out-of-bounds and access of position size2 does not. After call krealloc,
the access of position size2 cause out-of-bounds. So using size2 is more
correct.

print_hex_dump_debug() is likely supposed to be analogous to pr_debug() or
dev_dbg() & friends. Currently it will adhere to dynamic debug, but will
not stub out prints if CONFIG_DEBUG is not set. Let's make it do the
right thing, because I am tired of having my dmesg buffer full of hex
dumps on production systems.

In __bitmap_parselist we can accept whitespaces on head or tail during
every parsing procedure. If input has valid ranges, there is no reason to
reject the user.
For example, bitmap_parselist(" 1-3, 5, ", &mask, nmaskbits). After
separating the string, we get " 1-3", " 5", and " ". It's possible and
reasonable to accept such string as long as the parsing result is correct.

Convert from manual allocation/copy_from_user/... to kstrto*() family
which were designed for exactly that.
One case can not be converted to kstrto*_from_user() to make code even

The other two implementations of pr_debug_ratelimited include pr_fmt,

Commit e0e817392b ("CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6]")
added the kdebug mechanism to this file back in 2009.
The kdebug macro calls no_printk which always evaluates arguments.
Most of the kdebug uses have an unnecessary call of
atomic_read(&cred->usage)
Make the kdebug macro do nothing by defining it with
do { if (0) no_printk(...); } while (0)
when not enabled.

Poison pointer values should be small enough to find a room in
non-mmap'able/hardly-mmap'able space. E.g. on x86 "poison pointer space"
is located starting from 0x0. Given unprivileged users cannot mmap
anything below mmap_min_addr, it should be safe to use poison pointers
lower than mmap_min_addr.
The current poison pointer values of LIST_POISON{1,2} might be too big for
mmap_min_addr values equal or less than 1 MB (common case, e.g. Ubuntu
uses only 0x10000). There is little point to use such a big value given
the "poison pointer space" below 1 MB is not yet exhausted. Changing it
to a smaller value solves the problem for small mmap_min_addr setups.
The values are suggested by Solar Designer:

The proc_subdir_lock spinlock is used to allow only one task to make
change to the proc directory structure as well as looking up information
in it. However, the information lookup part can actually be entered by
more than one task as the pde_get() and pde_put() reference count update
calls in the critical sections are atomic increment and decrement
respectively and so are safe with concurrent updates.
The x86 architecture has already used qrwlock which is fair and other
architectures like ARM are in the process of switching to qrwlock. So
unfairness shouldn't be a concern in that conversion.
This patch changed the proc_subdir_lock to a rwlock in order to enable
concurrent lookup. The following functions were modified to take a
write lock:
- proc_register()
- remove_proc_entry()
- remove_proc_subtree()
The following functions were modified to take a read lock:
- xlate_proc_name()
- proc_lookup_de()
- proc_readdir_de()
A parallel /proc filesystem search with the "find" command (1000 threads)
was run on a 4-socket Haswell-EX box (144 threads). Before the patch, the
parallel search took about 39s. After the patch, the parallel find took
only 25s, a saving of about 14s.
The micro-benchmark that I used was artificial, but it was used to
reproduce an exit hanging problem that I saw in real application. In
fact, only allow one task to do a lookup seems too limiting to me.
