    with kzalloc you can avoid all this 0 initialization mess.

    Ditto.

    That nicely fits in a single line

    I'm giving up on that.

    Just once more before stop reading.

    struct pkg_data *pkd = pmonr->pkg_data;

    Will get rid of all this __pkg_data() nonsense.

    In this function the compiler will be able to figure out that its always the
    same thing on its own. But there is enough code where it will simply
    reevaluate.

    And why can't you track the number of queued entries at list_add/del time and spare these loops?

    That really deserves a comment that pmonr is removed from the rotation
    list. It's non obvious that the function below will do this.

    Why do you need nested here? You are not nesting pkd->lock at all.

    I really give up on this now. I have no idea what that code has to do with the
    comment above the function and I really can't figure out what this succeed
    flag is for.

    And to be honest, I'm too tired to figure this out now, but I'm also tired of
    looking at this maze in general. I think I gave you enough hints for now and I
    won't look at the rest of this before the next iteration comes along.

    Here is a summary of observations which I like to be addressed:

    - I like the general idea of splitting this apart in bits and pieces. But
    some of these splits are just mechanical or by throwing a dice. Please make
    this understandable

    - Don't do variable definitions in header files

    - Do not forward declare inlines or static function in headers.

    - Add proper error handling and cleanups right from the very beginning

    - Make this code modular

    - Rethink the naming conventions

    - Rethink the state tracking

    - Avoid these gazillion of macros/inlines which just obfuscate the code

    - Reduce the number of asserts and WARN_ONs to a useful set.

    - Handle unexpected conditions gracefully instead of emitting a useles
    warning followed by an oops. If there is no way to handle it gracefully get
    rid of the WARN_ONs as they are pointless.

    - Use kzalloc instead of zeroing/NULLing each newly added struct member.

    - Rethink the use of your unions. If they make sense, explain why.

    - Use consistent formatting for comments and functions, proper kerneldoc and
    use a consistent ordering of your local variables.

    - Avoid pointless long struct member names which mostly provide redundant
    information

    - Use intermediate variables instead of annoying line breaks.

    - Cleanup the lock_nested() abuse.

    - Please provide locking rules so there is a single place which explains
    which data is protected by which lock and explain the nesting rules.

    - Rethink the lock nesting. More than 8 packages in a system are reality
    today.

    - Please provide a proper overview how this stuff works. Your changelogs talk
    about improvements over the previous code and focus on implementation
    details, but the big picture is missing completely, unless I failed to find
    it.

    Thanks,

    tglx
