Since stddef.h ends up needing this macro, and kernel.h includes stddef.h, why not put this macro in stddef.h instead? Then the open-coded version of it in stddef (your last patch) can use sizeof_member()? Otherwise, yes, looks good. (Though I might re-order the patches so the last patch is the tree-wide swap -- then you don't need the exclusions, I think?) -Kees > > diff --git a/include/linux/kernel.h b/include/linux/kernel.h > index 4fa360a13c1e..0b80d8bb3978 100644 > --- a/include/linux/kernel.h > +++ b/include/linux/kernel.h > @@ -79,6 +79,15 @@ > */ > #define round_down(x, y) ((x) & ~__round_mask(x, y)) > > +/** > + * sizeof_member - get the size of a struct's member > + * @T: the target struct > + * @m: the target struct's member > + * Return: the size of @m in the struct definition without having a > + * declared instance of @T. > + */ > +#define sizeof_member(T, m) (sizeof(((T *)0)->m)) > + > /** > * FIELD_SIZEOF - get the size of a struct's field > * @t: the target struct > -- > 2.17.1 > -- Kees Cook
