    programming-guidelines: Linux Kernel indentation style is with tabs
    
    The reference document is a bit confusing:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle
    
    But the indentation is with tabs, with a *length* of 8 characters.
    
    You can check the Linux kernel code, here is for example a random file:
    https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/kernel/async.c
    
    Or in Nautilus:
    https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/src/nautilus-application.c
    
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744521

       Instead, set the <em>indentation size</em> as appropriate for
-      the code you are editing.  You may even be able to tell your
-      editor to automatically convert all tabs to 8 spaces, so that
