Hi all,
I simplified some xxxof() macros,
by adding a new macro memberof(),
which implements a common operation in many of them.
I also splitted many of those macros into tiny headers,
since I noticed that touching those headers implied
recompiling almost the whole kernel.
Hopefully after this patch there will be less
things to recompile after touching one of those.
Having simpler headers means that now one can
include one of those without pulling too much stuff
that might break other stuff.
I removed some unnecessary casts too.
Every few commits in this series
and of course after the last commit
I rebuilt the kernel and run for a while with it without any problems.
Please note that I have written very few kernel code
and for example some files wouldn't let me include some of these files,
so I didn't change those.
What I mean is that,
even though this is super obvious and shouldn't break stuff,
and I'm not new to C,
I'm quite new to the kernel,
and ask that reviewers take deep look, please.
In the first and second commits
I changed a lot of stuff in many parts,
and that's why I CCd so many people (also in this cover letter).
However, to avoid spamming,
and since it would be a nightmare to
find all the relevant people affected in so many different areas,
I only CCd in 01, 02 and in the cover letter.
If anyone is interested in reading the full patch set,
I sent it to the LKML.
Thanks,
Alex
