Hi,

Can this patch please be dropped from Linux-next (currently via
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm#mm-everything)?
It is obviously wrong when dealing with named variadic macro
parameters:

I agree it was a bit early to add to -mm but
there is a fix for (most of) that coming up.

[PATCH v3 2/2] scripts: checkpatch: Check unused parameters for function-like macro

[Barry Song]

From: Xining Xu <ma.xxn@outlook.com>

If function-like macros do not utilize a parameter, it might result in a
build warning. In our coding style guidelines, we advocate for utilizing
static inline functions to replace such macros. This patch verifies
compliance with the new rule.

For a macro such as the one below,

 #define test(a) do { } while (0)

The test result is as follows.

 ERROR: Parameter 'a' is not used in function-like macro, please use static
 inline instead
 #21: FILE: mm/init-mm.c:20:
 +#define test(a) do { } while (0)

 total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 8 lines checked
