So the max length of a string variable is TASK_COMM_LEN, right?

In addition, isn't it necessary for hist_trigger_elt_data_copy() to
copy the field_var_str array?

Shouldn't it be 'target_hist_field = target_hist_data->fields[j + n]'?

IIUC this is needed to create a new hist on a match_event only to
provide a variable for a field, right? I guess it's needed because
adding a new variable is dangerous/unsafe for a running hist.

It'd be nice if you could add more comments though.
