Why did you put __ into the name?
Some people oppose __ prefix altogether, I don't entirely agree with their
stance but I don't really understand what the underscores here signify.
Normally I see __ being used in three main cases:
- non-__ variant does some locking around the call too the __ func (though
many funcs use _locked postfix these days).
- func is "dangerous" and caller has to really know what he/she is
doing / be careful for some reason.
- non-__ variant exists and somebody cannot come up better name for the
internally called function (not very good use case, IMHO)
I don't see any of those apply here, this looks just an ordinary wrapper
function, thus the question.

As a general rule, don't add inline to .c files, we leave figuring
inlining out to the compiler.
