commit551d442001upstream. The default_gfp() helper that I added is not wrong, but it turns out that it causes unnecessary headaches for 'sparse' which doesn't support the use of __VA_OPT__ (introduced in C++20 and C23, and supported by gcc and clang for a long time). We do already use __VA_OPT__ in some other cases in the kernel (drm/xe and btrfs), but it has been fairly limited. Now it triggers for pretty much everything, and sparse ends up not working at all. We can use the traditional gcc ',##__VA_ARGS__' syntax instead: it may not be the "C standard" way and is slightly less natural in this context, but it is the traditional model for this and avoids the sparse problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
