Moving local variables makes sense in some cases but I don't see reason to move all of them. > Signed-off-by: Mark Harmstone <maharmstone@xxxxxx> > --- > fs/btrfs/btrfs_inode.h | 20 ++++- > fs/btrfs/inode.c | 170 +++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- > fs/btrfs/ioctl.c | 60 ++++++++------- > 3 files changed, 135 insertions(+), 115 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/fs/btrfs/btrfs_inode.h b/fs/btrfs/btrfs_inode.h > index affe70929234..5cd4308bd337 100644 > --- a/fs/btrfs/btrfs_inode.h > +++ b/fs/btrfs/btrfs_inode.h > @@ -605,9 +605,23 @@ int btrfs_encoded_read_regular_fill_pages(struct btrfs_inode *inode, > u64 file_offset, u64 disk_bytenr, > u64 disk_io_size, > struct page **pages); > -ssize_t btrfs_encoded_read(struct file *file, loff_t offset, > - struct iov_iter *iter, > - struct btrfs_ioctl_encoded_io_args *encoded); > + > +struct btrfs_encoded_read_private { > + wait_queue_head_t wait; > + atomic_t pending; > + blk_status_t status; > + unsigned long nr_pages; > + struct page **pages; > + struct extent_state *cached_state; The cached state is used as a local variable that is not reused by other functions that also take the private structure, so what's the reason to store it here? > + size_t count; > + struct iovec iovstack[UIO_FASTIOV]; > + struct iovec *iov; Same, this is used in the leaf functions and not passed around. > + struct iov_iter iter; > + struct btrfs_ioctl_encoded_io_args args; > + struct file *file; > +}; As a coding pattern, the structure should store data that would be otherwise passed as parameters or repeatedly derived from the parameters.
