Why did you remove this error message?

You can check the consumed < argc in parse_synth_field(), unless
you keep the backward compatibility - I think you can add an
inner loop for it, something like

while ((field_str = strsep(&tmp_fields, ";")) != NULL) {
    argv = argv_split(...);
    consumed = 0;
    while (argc > consumed) {
        // increment consumed in parse_synth_field()
        field = parse_synth_field(argc - consumed, argv + consumed, &consumed);
        if (IS_ERR(field)) {...}

        fields[n_fields++] = field;
        if (n_fields == SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX) {...}
     }

    argv_free(argv);
}

what would you think?

Hmm, this may drop the ability to delete an event with "!name",
it always requires some spaces after the name.

Thank you,
