[PATCHv4 4/8] linux/kernel: introduce lower_48_bits function

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

 



Recent data integrity field enhancements allow reference tags to be up
to 48 bits. Introduce an inline helper function since this will be a
repeated operation.
