I've been writing C code for a long time, in different styles, but
always wanted to know which code style most people prefer. This is all
about that question. Which one of the following do you prefer the most?

 

1. GNU Style
2. Linux Style

 I don't like them much. Below is a piece of my code

I don't like most of the choices you've made :-) *but* I can see perfectly good reasons for making those choices (if that's any consolation).
Just about the only choice of yours that I /do/ like is your brace placement:
{
   {
     {
     }
   }
}
which  like because it makes the code's structure stand out so clearly. I know a lot of people criticise this style for being wasteful of vertical space, but I've never seen that as a problem. My screen can hold more than enough code to occupy me, and my annual vertical space bill is very reasonable.
