From fbdb8138cf0c75a0cf21991ca05ecc9fdff6e070 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:49:14 -0700 Subject: checkpatch: warn on uses of __constant_ functions Emit a warning when using any of these __constant_ forms: __constant_cpu_to_be[x] __constant_cpu_to_le[x] __constant_be[x]_to_cpu __constant_le[x]_to_cpu __constant_htons __constant_ntohs Using any of these outside of include/uapi/ isn't preferred as using the function without __constant_ is identical when the argument is a constant.
