Subject: [PATCH v3] checkpatch: ignore warning designated initializers using NR_CPUS
Date:   Wed, 30 Dec 2020 20:29:21 +0800
Message-Id: <5d4998aa8a8ac7efada2c7daffa9e73559f8b186.1609331255.git.rocking@linux.alibaba.com>
In-Reply-To: <5ca6c2d28f6cf091a676f8e7d8f14a933da0b267.camel@perches.com>
References: <5ca6c2d28f6cf091a676f8e7d8f14a933da0b267.camel@perches.com>
Precedence: bulk

Some max_length wants to hold as large room as possible to
ensure enough size to tackle with the biggest NR_CPUS.
An example below:

kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:
static struct cftype legacy_files[] = {
        {
                .name = "cpus",
                .seq_show = cpuset_common_seq_show,
                .write = cpuset_write_resmask,
                .max_write_len = (100U + 6 * NR_CPUS),
                .private = FILE_CPULIST,
        },
	...
}
