As reported by checkpatch, the multiline comments for net/ and
drivers/net/ have a slightly different format than the one used in the
rest of the kernel, so we adjust our multiline comments accordingly.

    Why the heck you're doing this? It's the preferred style, see 
Documentation/CodingStyle, chapter 8.

WBR, Sergei

Dear Sergei Shtylyov,

No. Please read Documentation/CodingStyle, chapter 8 entirely:

===============================================================
The preferred style for long (multi-line) comments is:

        /*
         * This is the preferred style for multi-line
         * comments in the Linux kernel source code.
         * Please use it consistently.
         *
         * Description:  A column of asterisks on the left side,
         * with beginning and ending almost-blank lines.
         */

For files in net/ and drivers/net/ the preferred style for long
(multi-line) comments is a little different.

        /* The preferred comment style for files in net/ and drivers/net
         * looks like this.
         *
         * It is nearly the same as the generally preferred comment style,
         * but there is no initial almost-blank line.
         */
===============================================================

Seen the second part?

Please also see scripts/checkpatch.pl:

                if ($realfile =~ m@^(drivers/net/|net/)@ &&
                    $rawline =~ /^\+[ \t]*\/\*[ \t]*$/ &&
                    $prevrawline =~ /^\+[ \t]*$/) {
                        WARN("NETWORKING_BLOCK_COMMENT_STYLE",
                             "networking block comments don't use an empty /* line, use /* Comment...\n" . $hereprev);
                }

Thanks,

Thomas

Not in the networking code, we prefer:

	/* Doing it,
	 * like this.
	 */

there.

    Not until now probably. Sorry for the noise then. :-/
