Lines containing "} else {" should not be detected as unbalanced braces. But the second check can be reduced to ".+else\s*{" and it therefore never checked if the beginning of a line contains any other character (like the relevant "}"). This check would also return true for "} else {" and create warnings like CHECK: Unbalanced braces around else statement #391: FILE: ./net/batman-adv/tvlv.c:391: + } else { The check can be changed to check the whole line for the missing "}" to avoid this false positive. Fixes: 0d1532456c26 ("checkpatch: notice unbalanced else braces in a patch") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170220121644.12209-1-sven@narfation.org Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
