[PATCH v2] trace_printk: replace ___STR with compound literal
Posted by Qian-Yu Lin 1 month, 1 week ago
The macro trace_printk() uses a hardcoded identifier ___STR
within a statement expression, which can lead to variable name
shadowing if a caller happens to use the same name in its scope.

Replace the hardcoded identifier with a compound literal, which
eliminates the local variable entirely and removes any shadowing
risk without requiring an extra include or helper macro.

Since trace_printk() is never nested, __UNIQUE_ID() provides no
practical benefit here. The compound literal approach is simpler
and has no compile time overhead, unlike the v1 approach which
added #include <linux/compiler.h>.
