And there are few too many parentheses for my taste. Maybe exceed 80 columns in a single line may_sleep = preemptible() && !in_softirq() && system_state >= SYSTEM_RUNNING; or align the continuation may_sleep = (preemptible() && !in_softirq() && system_state >= SYSTEM_RUNNING); or use individual lines may_sleep = (preemptible() && !in_softirq() && system_state >= SYSTEM_RUNNING);
