Please put multi-line comments in form:
             /*
              * this is a long comment
              * because there really is lots to say
              */

In many cases, having shorter comment is the best way to handle these.
Often developer writes long comment for themselves because what ever problem
they saw was urgent. Then comment becomes irrelevant later.

             /* TAILQ_REMOVE not needed, error is already fatal */
