This on is indeed a problem.  I think it was not detected in testing,
because in the current kernel the rule never applies.  But Denis, in

-  to = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)
                (size,\(GFP_KERNEL\|GFP_USER\|
                      \(GFP_KERNEL\|GFP_USER\)|__GFP_NOWARN\));

you do indeed need to put - in front of the second and third lines as
well.

Markus, if you would limit your comments to suggesting SmPL code that is
actually correct, ie that you have tested, and 2) stop suggesting stupid
things over and over like that putting all of the virtual declarations on
the same line would save space (it does, but who cares), then I would take
your suggestions more seriously.

You proposed essentially  \( A \| B \) \( | C \| \)

This is not valid syntax in the semantic patch language.  The branches of
a \( \| \) have to be a valid expression, statement, type, etc, not some
random string of tokens.

These are not "usual risks".  You can easily test out your suggestion by
yourself to see if it produces valid code.  If it doesn't, then don't make
the suggestion.

Whenever you propose the same thing say 10 times or more and it is
rejected every time, I thikn you should be able to conclude that if you
propose the same thing again it will be rejected.

Not really.  My "change acceptance" increases when the person reporting
them raises real problems that is blocking them in some work.  And it
decreases rapidly when the changes are almost all related to presumed
"efficiencies" that have no impact in practice.

Can additional minus characters be avoided if such a source code search pattern
would be specified in a single line?
