Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: add --max-file-size option
Date:   Wed, 10 Jun 2020 13:56:16 -0700
Message-Id: <20200610205616.9965-1-scott.branden@broadcom.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Add --max-file-size option (default off) to limit size of files
that checkpatch processes.  Such an option is useful when checkpatch
is run automatically during checkins to a source control system and
someone acccidently or purposely attempt to commit massive size files
to the system.  If the checkpatch script runs on such files it could take
a long time to run and limit the server's ability to perform other
operations.
