Problem adding lot of parameters to functions, is that 0 (or false)
means nothing when we read the code later and we have to go back to
sk_alloc() definition to check.
Sure, at the time you write the code everything is clear, but in 2 years
we wont have the context in our heads.
I would use an enumeration to ease code readability maybe.
enum sk_alloc_kern {
SK_ALLOC_USER,
SK_ALLOC_KERN,
};
