Is there any tool can format source code according to kernel coding rule?

[Rameshbabu]

Hi , 

There is a script in kernel source tree which used to check the code is in the proper coding style. 
But I don't about automatically changing code to specific coding style. 

The script name called checkpatch.pl present in kernel tree scripts/ directory. 

If you want to use this script. 

Make it as executable, by giving 

chmod +x checkpatch.pl 

./checkpatch.pl --no-tree -f <file_name> 


This will tell you what are all the coding style you have missed. So you can format your code 
to coding style easily. 

Thanks, 
Ramesh

If your using vi(m) in command mode type gg=G this will indent your code . if your want kernel coding rules compatibility run your code through scripts/Lindent. There is a vim plugi-in http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4369 will do the same.
