It must be avoided that arguments to a macro are evaluated ungrouped (which
enforces normal operator precendence). Otherwise the result of the macro
is not well defined.
Curiosity:

in net/batman-adv/tp_meter.c
[...]
	orig_node = batadv_orig_hash_find(bat_priv, tp_vars->other_end);
	if (unlikely(!orig_node)) {
		err = BATADV_TP_REASON_DST_UNREACHABLE;
		tp_vars->reason = err;
		goto out;
	}

	primary_if = batadv_primary_if_get_selected(bat_priv);
	if (unlikely(!primary_if)) {
		err = BATADV_TP_REASON_DST_UNREACHABLE;
		goto out;
	}

err is not used in the out block

Is the last if block supposed to set tp_vars->reason to err?
This seems to be unrelated to this patch.

But yes, looks to me like it is missing. Do you want to propose a patch or
should I do? Just make sure you Cc Antonio Quartulli [off-list ref] (and of
course b.a.t.m.a.n@lists.open-mesh.org). He is the original author of
33a3bb4a3345 ("batman-adv: throughput meter implementation").

Kind regards,
	Sven
