__compiletime_strlen macro expansion will shadow p_size and p_len local
variables. Just rename those in __compiletime_strlen.

They don't escape their local context, though, right? i.e. I don't see a
problem with the existing macro. Did you encounter a specific issue that
this patch fixes?

Yes, this is pretty minor. There are also some extra compiling warnings (W=2)
from it.

Gotcha. Yeah, we have -Wshadow=local tracked here:
https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/152

The changes needed to fix __wait_event() are extensive, though. But yes,
there's no good reason for this macro to make things worse for W=2. ;)

I'd like to keep the existing names, so many just prefixing them with
"__" and send a v2?

Thanks!
