Summary

The main difference with the dynamically allocated version is that the structure is initialized with DECLARE_KFIFO() which takes the number of items as an additional argument compared to DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR().

The declared structure is then initialized with INIT_KFIFO() which sets all fields to 0, except total which is computed from the size of the array passed to DECLARE_KFIFO().

The amdgpu DRM driver started to used this in Linux 6.10.

This is part of the update of DRM drivers to Linux 6.10.

That's nitems(), could use it if you wanted.
