Over the last decade or so e820.c has become an ureadable mess of
tinkerware. Perform some very basic cleanups before doing more
intricate cleanups, so that my eyes don't start bleeding when I look at it.
Here's some of the excesses:
- Total disregard of countless aspects of Documentation/CodingStyle.
- Totally inconsistent hodge-podge of various coding styles and practices.
- Gems like:
(unsigned long long) e820_table->entries[i].addr
... which is a completely unnecessary type conversion of an u64 value.
- Incomprehensible comments while there are major functions with absolutely
no explanation - plus an armada of typos and grammar mistakes.
- Mindless checkpatch artifacts such as:
if (append_e820_table(boot_params.e820_table, boot_params.e820_entries)
< 0) {
for_each_free_mem_range(u, NUMA_NO_NODE, MEMBLOCK_NONE, &start, &end,
NULL) {
- Actively misleading comments:
/* In case someone cares... */
return who;
( The usage site of the return value just a few lines further down makes it
clear that we very much care about the return value, we use it to print
out the e820 map... )
- Colorfully inconsistent capitalization and punctuation throughout.
- etc.
This patch fixes only the worst excesses - there's more to fix.
No change in functionality.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
