[PATCH] checkpatch: fix camel case seeding when run with --root

[Jacob Keller]

checkpatch.pl avoids warning about camel case of some definitions by
seeding a file that tracks all of the currently committed camel case
definitions.

To build this seed file, checkpatch.pl decides between using git or the
--root parameter.

This works as long as you don't run checkpatch.pl from within
a different git tree that is not the Linux kernel.

In this case, the check for ".git" will return true, and checkpatch will
attempt to seed a camel case file using the current directory. This
works fine if --root is not provided, but can result in an incorrect
camel case seed file resulting in false positive warnings.

Fix this by checking for $root/.git instead, so that we use the --root
parameter properly when seeding the camel case list.

Additionally, when generating the list of files to be checked, prefix
the $root path so that the correct file will be found.

These changes allow checkpatch.pl to honor the --root parameter even if
being run from within another git repository.

Ping? Andy? Joe?

This is a re-write of a rather old (couple of years old...) fix that I've been meaning to get around to submitting.

I'd like to have this picked up since it resolves issues with using --root while inside another git tree.

Thanks,
Jake

Odd use case, but I'll forward it on as it doesn't
seem to have any other effect.

We run checkpatch.pl on Linux driver code which is out-of-tree to start with, and then will eventually be migrated into the in-tree kernel later as we develop it.

Without this patch, the use of checkpatch.pl with --root causes bogus hits with camel case issues.

Jake

[PATCH] checkpatch: fix camel case seeding when run with --root

[Jacob Keller]

checkpatch.pl avoids warning about camel case of some definitions by
seeding a file that tracks all of the currently committed camel case
definitions.

To build this seed file, checkpatch.pl decides between using git or the
--root parameter.

This works as long as you don't run checkpatch.pl from within
a different git tree that is not the Linux kernel.

In this case, the check for ".git" will return true, and checkpatch will
attempt to seed a camel case file using the current directory. This
works fine if --root is not provided, but can result in an incorrect
camel case seed file resulting in false positive warnings.

Fix this by checking for $root/.git instead, so that we use the --root
parameter properly when seeding the camel case list.

Additionally, when generating the list of files to be checked, prefix
the $root path so that the correct file will be found.

These changes allow checkpatch.pl to honor the --root parameter even if
being run from within another git repository.

I sent this a long time ago, https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/663831/ but
it was never noticed or reviewed.

I thought I'd dredge it back up and write a better description of the
problem and the fix.
