  This macro is based on Jan Viktorin's original patch but also checks the
type of the passed pointer against the type of the member.

I will start using this in my patchset.

It is a bit strange to have this patch in a series which do
not use it. I am in favor of getting it when it is used
(and included) in another series.

I can add this patch to my series, if Jan is ok about this.

It's OK. Just merge it someday ;).

Actually, I meant Jan Blunck ;D
I have already been using your patch since long.

Hello Jan,

Need your help in resolving the checkpatch issue for this patch.
I have used this in EAL Bus series [1].

(I think there was discussion in ML about this but where, I couldn't 
find it).

Above code snippet doesn't go down well with the checkpatch script. It 
reports:

---->8----
ERROR:COMPLEX_MACRO: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in 
parentheses
#40: FILE: lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_common.h:349:
+#define container_of(ptr, type, member)        __extension__ ({ 
        \
+                       typeof(((type *)0)->member) *_ptr = (ptr);      \
+                       (type *)(((char *)_ptr) - offsetof(type, 
member)); })

ERROR:SPACING: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxV)
#41: FILE: lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_common.h:350:
+                       typeof(((type *)0)->member) *_ptr = (ptr);      \
---->8----

Second error is primarily because of '*<space>_ptr' rather than '*_ptr'.

Is do{ ... }while(0) the fix for the first one?

This:

---->8----
#ifndef container_of
#define container_of(ptr, type, member) do {                 \
            __extension__                                     \
            typeof(((type *)0)->member) * _ptr = (ptr);       \
            (type *)(((char *)_ptr) - offsetof(type, member));\
            } while (0)
#endif
---->8----

Seems to be ok with checkpatch. Do you see any technical/compiler issue 
with this?

My bad.
obviously a 'do{ .. } while(0)' will not work in case of assignment.

Any other hints as to how to remove this checkpatch issue?
