Just nits, of course :)

Whitelist is a single word, but see also 49decddd39e5 ("Merge tag
'inclusive-terminology' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/linux"),
allowlist/denylist is recommended for new code.

see, kfunc here...

...but more verbose kern_func here. I like kfunc everywhere ;)
