this makes your code faster to execute but the binary size will be bigger.
You will see this in kernel code more because we have very low stack area sometime may be one page(4096 bytes) of memory.
automatic variable declare and defined in function will occupy space in stack.
In application side C expert suggest to have functions because we have very big stack area and function adds readability
with easy debugging.
I hope this will help you in your kernel context.

Currently I am trying to learn linux kernel while looking around I saw that a lot of function likes macros are defined.What is the adventage of macros over functions.
Thanks
