Subject[PATCH] linux/container_of.h: switch to static_assert
Date
_Static_assert() is evaluated already in the compiler's frontend, and
gives a somehat more to-the-point error, compared to the BUILD_BUG_ON
macro, which only fires after the optimizer has had a chance to
eliminate calls to functions marked with
__attribute__((error)). In theory, this might make builds a tiny bit
faster.

There's also a little less gunk in the error message emitted:

lib/sort.c: In function ‘foo’:
./include/linux/build_bug.h:78:41: error: static assertion failed: "pointer type mismatch in container_of()"
78 | #define __static_assert(expr, msg, ...) _Static_assert(expr, msg)

compared to

lib/sort.c: In function ‘foo’:
././include/linux/compiler_types.h:322:38: error: call to ‘__compiletime_assert_2’ declared with attribute error: pointer type mismatch in container_of()
322 | _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__)

While at it, fix the copy-pasto in container_of_safe().

akpm: This is obviously on top of Andy's kernel.h splitup series, so
should go along with those if acked.
