Ok, will use that.

Yes. Will use LIST_HEAD() instead.

In case of SDTs on a local system, we don't need gelf_xlatetom().

Missed that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah correct, we don't need these casts.

Yes it will be better to use list_head...

I guess they won't be exchanged... tmp will be added to head, right? 
Anyway, this won't be needed if we go with list_head in struct 
probe_point instead of sdt_note. Will make the required changes.

Seems better. Will change to that.
