Some checks look for comments around a specific function like read_barrier_depends. Extend the check to support both c89 and c90 comment styles. c89 /* comment */ or c99 // comment For c99 comments, only look a 3 single lines, the line being scanned, the line above and the line below the line being scanned rather than the patch diff context.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
