I'm in the process of running dgap.c through checkpatch and creating another 
patch set. Before I get too far into it I wanted to get clarification on a 
couple of things.

1. Should I wait until I know the status of my last patch before I post new 
ones?

2. There are MANY "over 80 char lines" warnings. I'm uncertain of the 
acceptable way to fix some of them. Here is an example of one:

        while (tail != head) {
                if (reason & IFTLW) {

                        if (ch->ch_tun.un_flags & UN_LOW) {
                                ch->ch_tun.un_flags &= ~UN_LOW;

                                // everything in this block is over 80 chars

                                if (ch->ch_tun.un_flags & UN_ISOPEN) {
                                        if ((ch->ch_tun.un_tty->flags &
                                           (1 << TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP)) &&
                                                
ch->ch_tun.un_tty->ldisc->ops->write_wakeup) { // ????
                                                DGAP_UNLOCK(ch->ch_lock, 
lock_flags2);
                                                DGAP_UNLOCK(bd->bd_lock, 
lock_flags);
                                                
(ch->ch_tun.un_tty->ldisc->ops->write_wakeup)(ch->ch_tun.un_tty);  // ????
                                                DGAP_LOCK(bd->bd_lock, 
lock_flags);
                                                DGAP_LOCK(ch->ch_lock, 
lock_flags2);
                                        }
                                        
wake_up_interruptible(&ch->ch_tun.un_tty->write_wait);
                                        
wake_up_interruptible(&ch->ch_tun.un_flags_wait);
                                // end of nasty block

                                }
                        }

I figured I'd leave them for the last patch but there are a few that if I wait 
will show up in
one or more of the patches preceding that last one. This one is actually one of 
them. While
fixing up bracket errors with "chechpatch -file", chechpatch doesn't like the 
patch created.

Thanks
Mark
