Heh, you're right, my grep-fu failed me. Ok, so both styles are roughly as common (and a non-trivial portion of those 1800 also are not simple wrappers). > I would prefer to apply these sorts of patches unless it causes an > issue...

While I agree functions are generally preferred, container_of() is special as it includes type checking. And again, using container_of() like this is a common pattern in the kernel.
