I afraid that it is sparse anomality and because NULL==0, the ibev.event
will be initialized to zero, but it is a matter of time when the sparse
will complain about wrong initialization again.

Hello Leon,

The first member of struct ib_event is a pointer so I think the sparse complaint is correct. Anyway, how about one of the following two alternatives:
* Change {0} into { }.
* Use memset() instead of an initializer.

Bart.
