checkpatch: Warn on code with 6+ tab indentation
Overly indented code should be refactored. Suggest refactoring excessive indentation of of if/else/for/do/while/switch statements. For example: $ cat t.c #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { if (1) if (2) if (3) if (4) if (5) if (6) if (7) if (8) ; return 0; } $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f t.c WARNING: Too many leading tabs - consider code refactoring #12: FILE: t.c:12: + if (6) WARNING: Too many leading tabs - consider code refactoring #13: FILE: t.c:13: + if (7) WARNING: Too many leading tabs - consider code refactoring #14: FILE: t.c:14: + if (8) total: 0 errors, 3 warnings, 17 lines checked t.c has style problems, please review. If any of these errors are false positives, please report them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
