I suggest to omit leading underscores from such identifiers.

I was gonna apply this change, but I ack'd existing files and I find
that all of them include leading underscores, including some very
recently added files like net/core/page_pool_priv.h.

I would prefer to stick to existing conventions if that's OK, unless
there is widespread agreement to the contrary.

Under which circumstances would you become interested to reduce development risks
also according to undefined behaviour?

This series is following established practice in kernel networking.

If that conflicts with a C standard, then perhaps that needs to be
resolved project wide.

Forcing an individual feature to diverge just brings inconsistency.
That said, this appears to be inconsistent already.

Main question is whether this is worth respinning a series already at
v17 with no more fundamental feedback.

No, from my point of view, it is not.

This really is a trivial and somewhat subjective mater.
I don't think it should hold up a substantial piece of work.
