Why start letting subsystems have a free-pass?
Also this would mean that new patches to IB would continue the bad habits.

And I don't need any free pass for RDS either.

It's not a free pass, it's an assessment of the current situation, to allow 
people to start working on it easily. I have already done some of that work
and will post that later.

I missed V1 of this series but Knut, please don't add
any exceptions for RDS and if there is something needs to
be fixed, we can address it. Once your infrastructure
gets merged, the subsequent fixes can be added.

This is about temporary masking some errors to allow automated testing
to prevent new regressions to occur in all the files and for all the 
types that are not excepted!

I agree with this comment at least for net/rds.

Most of these existing messages from checkpatch should
probably be inspected and corrected where possible to
minimize the style differences between this subsystem
and the rest of the kernel.

For instance, here's a trivial patch to substitute
pr_<level> for printks and a couple braces next to
these substitutions.

Thanks Joe. I actually had a similar patch a while back but
since it was lot of churn, and code was already merged,
never submitted it and then later forgot about it.

Will look into it.

Please look at my set here first - I have already spent considerable time cleaning up
stuff while working on this:

Thanks,

btw:

in ib_cm, why is one call to ib_modify_qp emitted
with a -ret and the other with a positive err?

Its oversight and will fix that.

Santosh
