Hello Alison,
First, sorry for the delay in responding. I was travelling most part of the day
today and just checking my emails now.

Thank you for looking at my first-patch contribution record. Your message is
encouraging. I will starting working on the Coccinelle project tasks outlined
in the project description.

Hi Deeva,

I saw your Outreachy Dashboard update that noted your past contributions:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/log/?h=staging-testing&qt=grep&q=Deepak+R+Varma

You have plenty of cleanup patches in total and it would be great if you
could move on to try out some small tasks for the Coccinelle project.

There are notes on how to get started in the project description, including
how to contact the mentors.

Please try to keep your applicant/mentor communications CC'd to this
list.

Thanks,
Alison

Hello,
I am reading through the Coccinelle.org link mentioned on the project
description page and following through. Is that the right approach to accomplish
the project tasks? Any additional guidance will be helpful.

Hi Deepak,

Yes you are on right track, look for how to use coccinelle/coccicheck and try to
find some issues in staging directory. Please feel free to reach out to me and 
Praveen if you face any difficulty in accomplishing it.

Hello,
I need help with installing and using Coccinelle / coccicheck. The following URL for
source code is not working.

https://coccinelle.gitlabpages.inria.fr/website/distrib/coccinelle-1.1.1.tar.gz

Also the packages for Debian are marked as Error.

Can you please share links to documentation about how to install/configure and use
Coccinelle?

Thank you,

I got it. Thank you Julia. Not sure why this link never popped up before.

One quick note: following link also did not work for me. It might need an
update???

Just to confirm, I still need to download and build Coccinelle in my Kernel git
repo, correct? Because, if I directly attempt to build the coccicheck target I
get the following error:

spatch is part of the Coccinelle project and is available at http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/
make: *** [Makefile:2076: coccicheck] Error 1

Can you please confirm if I am understanding it right?

Sorry, maybe it needs an update, but it''s also not relevant to you if you
want to use Coccinelle on kernel code.  Coccicheck is a standalone tool
for running Coccinelle on other software.  In the kernel, coccicheck is
integrated with the kernel makefile.  You can read about it in the kernel
documentation.

Yes, you wll need to build it yourself.

On the upside, you will get the latest version.

Hi Saurabh,

I'm also trying to follow along with this email thread, but I'm a little
stuck. I compiled coccinelle, but I'm not sure what to do next. When you
say 'try to find issues in the staging directory', do you mean the
staging directory of the linux kernel? I don't see a staging directory
in the source for coccinelle. Thanks!

Best,
Emily

Hi Emily,

Yes look at drivers/staging folder in linux kernel. If you have completed the
first 10 patches as part of 'contribution period' you should have worked on this
folder already. The task here is to find run coccinelle over staging and find the
issues, which will be followed by upstreaming the fixes for it.

Saurabh

Okay I think I understand better, but to clarify, is this how we run coccinelle?

	spatch -sp_file <somefile>.cocci -dir drivers/staging

Are we to create our own semantic patch file? If so, do you mean for us to
write a semantic patch that actually fixes existing errors in the driver
or just test out different patterns? When we find an issue, do we try
to fix it and create a patch or report it in github issues?
