What's the significance of the "__" in the variable?

Looks as if you copied it from the ftrace_raw_event_* macro. The "__"
there is usually recommended because it is a macro and we try to avoid
namespace collisions by adding the "__".

This is a proper function, please remove the "__" from it.

Thanks,
