In the implementation of the init macros there is a `if false` statement that type checks the initializer to ensure every field is initialized. Since the next patch has a stack variable to store the struct, the function might allocate too much memory on debug builds. Putting the struct into a closure that is never executed ensures that even in debug builds no stack overflow error is caused. In release builds this was not a problem since the code was optimized away due to the `if false`.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
