[PATCH] D59963: [clang-tidy] Add a module for the Linux kernel.

[Dmitri Gribenko via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

gribozavr added inline comments.


================
Comment at: clang-tools-extra/docs/clang-tidy/checks/linuxkernel-must-use-errs.rst:10
+functions are marked with ``__attribute__((warn_unused_result))``, but
+the compiler warning for this attribute is not always enabled.
+
----------------
IIRC it is possible to pass through compiler warnings through ClangTidy... WDYT about that instead of reimplementing the warning?

However we would lose the ability to "infer" `warn_unused_result` on functions that return `ERR_PTR`.  However, since the analysis is not cross-translation-unit, IDK how much value there is.
