Hi Ira,

Looks good to me. A few trivial suggestions inline. Either way,

Trivial, but why not just pass in the event_buf?

huh. I assumed there would be a devm_kvmalloc() but apparently not.. Ah well
- whilst it might makes sense to add one, let's not tie that up with this series.

Trivial, but I'd go for a more wordy but more conventional pattern of
if (!buf)
return NULL;

if (devm_add_action_or_reset())
return NULL

return buff;

Whilst it is obvious (and document at point of allocation),
I think one of the static checkers still warns that all locks must
have comments. Probably easier to add one now than wait for the
inevitable warning report.
