Not only Linux, but also FreeBSD, Xorg and Wayland

Personally, I find this exception reasonable because functions with a
long argument list often require to be broken into smaller chunks:

structevent_source *
event_loop_add_signal(structevent_loop *loop,
intsignal_number,
wl_event_loop_signal_func_tfunc,
void*data)
{
body of the function
}

Linus Torvalds was less polite (the document seems to be written in 2016):

"First off, I'd suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards,
and NOT read it. Burn them, it's a great symbolic gesture."

Cheers,

Aitor.
