Hi Bing.
There's an issue with the checkpatch patch. It doesn't always work correctly when there are consecutive parenthesis.
Kalle Valo showed an example that fails:
if (!IS_ALIGNED((unsigned long) skb->data - HTC_HDR_LENGTH, 4) && skb_cloned(skb)) {
I have a tentative fix here, but I'm waiting on Andy Whitcroft to give some guidance on how best to fix it given a minimum perl version of 5.10.
The proposed patch doesn't work with perl versions less than 5.10 and there is at least one person that still uses 5.8.
