+ * check_type - routines for compile time type checking
+ *
+ * C has fairly weak typing: ints get automatically converted to longs, signed
+ * to unsigned, etc. There are some cases where this is best avoided, and
+ * these macros provide methods for evoking warnings (or build errors) when
+ * a precise type isn't used.
+ *
+ * On compilers which don't support typeof() these routines are less effective,
+ * since they have to use sizeof() which can only distiguish between types of
+ * different size.

+/**
+ * check_type - issue a warning or build failure if type is not correct.
+ * @expr: the expression whose type we should check (not evaluated).
+ * @type: the exact type we expect the expression to be.
+ *
+ * This macro is usually used within other macros to try to ensure that a macro
+ * argument is of the expected type. No type promotion of the expression is
+ * done: an unsigned int is not the same as an int!
+ *
+ * check_type() always evaluates to 0.
+ *
+ * If your compiler does not support typeof, then the best we can do is fail
+ * to compile if the sizes of the types are unequal (a less complete check).
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * // They should always pass a 64-bit value to _set_some_value!
+ * #define set_some_value(expr) \
+ * _set_some_value((check_type((expr), uint64_t), (expr)))

+/**
+ * check_types_match - issue a warning or build failure if types are not same.
+ * @expr1: the first expression (not evaluated).
+ * @expr2: the second expression (not evaluated).
+ *
+ * This macro is usually used within other macros to try to ensure that
+ * arguments are of identical types. No type promotion of the expressions is
+ * done: an unsigned int is not the same as an int!
+ *
+ * check_types_match() always evaluates to 0.
+ *
+ * If your compiler does not support typeof, then the best we can do is fail
+ * to compile if the sizes of the types are unequal (a less complete check).
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * // Do subtraction to get to enclosing type, but make sure that
+ * // pointer is of correct type for that member.
+ * #define container_of(mbr_ptr, encl_type, mbr) \
+ * (check_types_match((mbr_ptr), &((encl_type *)0)->mbr), \
