After running "scripts/checkpatch.pl" I got warnings about alignment.
So I run checkpatch.pl --fix and fixed alignment as a script did.
So warnings goes away. I don't get the rules of alignment, can you
tell me the right way?

I don't see any statements under Documentation/process; not sure where
it is explicitly stated. You can get the general idea by following the
surrounding code and then let checkpatch correct from there.

I create 3 patches and check it:

./scripts/checkpatch.pl 
0001-net-ipv4-multipath-routing-configurable-seed.patch
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 186 lines checked

0001-net-ipv4-multipath-routing-configurable-seed.patch has no obvious 
style problems and is ready for submission.
./scripts/checkpatch.pl 
0002-net-ipv6-multipath-routing-configurable-seed.patch
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 151 lines checked

0002-net-ipv6-multipath-routing-configurable-seed.patch has no obvious 
style problems and is ready for submission.
./scripts/checkpatch.pl
