Re: [PATCH v4] docs: Explain the desired position of function attributes

Kees Cook [off-list ref] writes:

While discussing how to format the addition of various function
attributes, some "unwritten rules" of ordering surfaced[1]. Capture as
close as possible to Linus's preferences for future reference.

(Though I note the dissent voiced by Joe Perches, Alexey Dobriyan, and
others that would prefer all attributes live on a separate leading line.)

Did I ever mention that I *hate* coding-style patches? :)

In this case I think we're as close as to consensus as things get.  In
the absence of a strong reason to the contrary, I'll apply this before
too long.

Thanks,
