To be sure I understand what you are saying, the scoped_guard and for_each_child_of_node_scoped are clean-up macros in the Linux kernel code. Then we'll be using Coccinelle semantic patches to look for cases in kernel code where these clean up macros are appropriate to be used? Lastly, would you like us to send the application as an inline email to the mailing list for review? Thank you. Adekunle.
