checkpatch: comment ends inside strings is most likely not an open comment
When we are detecting whether a comment is open when we start a hunk we check for the first comment edge in the hunk and assume its inverse. However if the hunk contains something like below, then we will assume that a comment was open. Update this heuristic to see if the comment edge is obviously within double quotes and ignore it if so: foo(" */); Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
