[PATCH 2/2] iov_iter: optimise iter type checking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The problem here is that iov_iter_is_*() helpers check types for
equality, but all iterate_* helpers do bitwise ands. This confuses
a compiler, so even if some cases were handled separately with
iov_iter_is_*(), it can't eliminate and skip unreachable branches in
following iterate*().

E.g. iov_iter_npages() first handles bvecs and discards, but
iterate_all_kinds() still generate branches for them.

Making checks consistent solves that.
