So what is the rationale here. During mainlining our drivers we had to remove all uses of 'typedef struct foo foo_t;'. The Linux CodingStyle (chapter 5 Typedefs) is spending a number of lines explaining why. So is spinlock_t an exception to this rule simply because the kernel uses spinlock_t all over the place.
Yes. Luis
