Thanks. This looks much more straightforward, and obviously is smaller too.

Side note: I realize I was the one suggesting "scoped_guard()", but
looking at the patch I do think that just unnecessarily added another
level of indentation. Since you already wrote the

     if (cond) {
         ..
     }

part as a block statement, there's no upside to the guard having its
own scoped block, so instead of

     if (cond) { \
         scoped_guard(preempt_notrace)           \
             __DO_TRACE_CALL(name, TP_ARGS(args)); \
     }

this might be simpler as just a plain "guard()" and one less indentation:

     if (cond) { \
         guard(preempt_notrace);           \
         __DO_TRACE_CALL(name, TP_ARGS(args)); \
     }

but by now this is just an unimportant detail.

I think I suggested scoped_guard() mainly because that would then just
make the "{ }" in the if-statement superfluous, but that's such a
random reason that it *really* doesn't matter.

Thanks for the follow up. I agree that guard() would remove one level
of nesting and would be an improvement.

Steven, do you want me to update the series with this change or
should I leave the scoped_guard() as is considering the ongoing
testing in linux-next ? We can always keep this minor change
(scoped_guard -> guard) for a follow up patch.

Thanks,

Mathieu
