The TRACE_EVENT() macro has its own style. I need to document it, and perhaps one day get checkpatch to understand it as well. The TRACE_EVENT() typically looks like: TRACE_EVENT(name, TP_PROTO(int arg1, struct foo *arg2, struct bar *arg3), TP_ARGS(arg1, arg2, arg3), TP_STRUCT__entry( __field( int, field1 ) __array( char, mystring, MYSTRLEN ) __string( filename, arg3->name ) ), TP_fast_assign( __entry->field1 = arg1; memcpy(__entry->mystring, arg2->string); __assign_str(filename, arg3->name); ), TP_printk("field1=%d mystring=%s filename=%s", __entry->field1, __entry->mystring, __get_str(filename)) ); The TP_STRUCT__entry() should be considered more of a "struct" layout than a macro layout, and that's where checkpatch gets confused. The spacing makes it much easier to see the fields and their types. -- Steve
