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.
[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: coding style fixes]
