Re: [PATCH] staging: Fix spacing between function name and parentheses
Even if you use checkpath you _should_ understand what you are changing.
The output of checkpatch merely there to help.
In this case you can see that this is a macro just a few lines up in the
code.

have you read the code before modifying it?
this is not a function.
have you seen how CVMX_WAIT_FOR_FIELD32 is being called?
on every call of CVMX_WAIT_FOR_FIELD32 op is the operator ==
so when called the macro will be c.s.field == (value).
if your patch is applied then it will become c.s.field ==(value) ..
will that be correct ?

Re: printk or pr_level?
1. No. Depending on what subsystem your are printing logs from you should use different functions for logging. In the networking subsystem netdev_dbg is suitable and so on. Otherwise pr_debug will always work and is always preferred over printk. 2. Use pr_debug.

Doing DNS lookups (forward or reverse) is complicated. There's a dns_query function in the kernel (net/dns_resolver), which apparently upcalls into user space, but I'd avoid dealing with DNS in the kernel at all. Just pass the IP address to user space and let it deal with it. There are plenty of DNS libraries available. Odds are you need to pass the resulting information to user space anyway, so you're not really losing anything. What are you trying to accomplish anyway?
