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.

This is exactly the same patch as you sent last time. And it's still wrong.
Nick, just out of curiosity: How old are you?

Try search for linux-iio using Google and click on the first link [1].

Please Nick, stop spamming the list with your patches. I _really_
doubt that anyone ever will try to get your patches merged since
you've managed to get banned from vger and got a somewhat flawed
reputation.

But still, the best thing for Nick to do is to stay away from patches,
bugs, staging and whatnot for a long time. Try to learn before even
considering sending patches.
You are on the same track as before, you are trying to figure out how to
send patches even if a lot of people have told you not to
You are not supposed to make the solutions for Eudyptula challenge
available to others.

Seems like something is messed up. Try 'git rebase --abort' and see if
that helps you.
And don't try to get that patch merged upstream.

People. Can we continue the technical discussions on this list? I have no
interest anymore in Nicks problems.
Take the discussions with Nick off list.

But aren't broken patches doing more damage to your ego than testing the

IIRC the package name is libncurses5-dev. It will be quite hard for you to
do any kernel development if you can't solve this by yourself.

Take a look at drivers/staging/. You will find something there to work on.

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.

There's a research project called Name Based Sockets where this have been
done.
Take a look at: https://www.sics.se/projects/name-based-sockets
If you search for name based sockets on Google you will find a kernel
module and user space code doing this.

I would recommend you to read the book Linux Device Drivers, 3rd edition.
It's licensed under a creative commons licence (thanks Greg!).
More than that, you have some documentation in the Documentation/ folder.
Reading the archive for this mailing list might be useful too.
Good luck!

Good. Build yourself another kernel for development and stick with the
working one for work then.

Your boot loader (grub?) can't handle multiple kernels?

Attached a ZIP file? If you _read_ the instructions for the challenge,
it states that 'but for all tasks you can't send base64
attachments, as I don't know what to do with them. Just a "normal"
attachment, in text form, is fine, and preferred.' Just insert patches
as plain text, nothing else.
On T
You should not use Gmail since it will BASE64-encode your attachments
(patches should be sent as plain text). Use a sane client like Alpine
or Mutt instead.

Might be a good thing to start with something easier. If you can't
navigate the source tree well enough to find the relevant code you
will have a hard time rewriting stuff for different hardware.

Before even trying to do any development, I think that you need to
learn about GRUB (or what bootloader you are using) and how to be able
to chose from multiple kernels when booting.

Using SMP would let your system take advantage of HyperThreading. If
you have a fairly decent CPU there is a good chance that your single
core have support for HyperThreading which will improve
parallelization.

Short answer: Use pr_debug instead of printk.
