From: Kefeng Wang <wangkefeng.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: include/linux/seq_file.h: introduce DEFINE_SEQ_ATTRIBUTE() helper macro Patch series "seq_file: Introduce DEFINE_SEQ_ATTRIBUTE() helper macro". As discussed in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191129222310.GA3712618@xxxxxxxxx/, we could introduce a new helper macro to reduce losts of boilerplate code, vmstat and kprobes is the example which covert to use it, if this is accepted, I will send out more cleanups. This patch (of 3): Introduce DEFINE_SEQ_ATTRIBUTE() helper macro to decrease code duplication.
