Both __d_lookup_rcu() and __d_lookup_rcu_op_compare() have the full 'name_hash' value of the qstr that they want to look up, and mask it off to just the low 32-bit hash before calling down to d_hash(). Other callers just load the 32-bit hash and pass it as the argument. If we move the masking into d_hash() itself, it simplifies the two callers that currently do the masking, and is a no-op for the other cases. It doesn't actually change the generated code since the compiler will inline d_hash() and see that the end result is the same. [ Technically, since the parse tree changes, the code generation may not be 100% the same, and for me on x86-64, this does result in gcc switching the operands around for one 'cmpl' instruction. So not necessarily the exact same code generation, but equivalent ] However, this does encapsulate the 'd_hash()' operation more, and makes the shift operation in particular be a "shift 32 bits right, return full word". Which matches the instruction semantics on both x86-64 and arm64 better, since a 32-bit shift will clear the upper bits. That makes the next step of introducing a "shift by runtime constant" more obvious and generates the shift with no extraneous type masking.
