So change it when that later changes actually come in. And even then having the checks outside the function is a lot more obvious. > And I think that is minor. The problem is that each of these issues might appear minor on their own. But combined a lot of the coding style choices lead to code that is more suitable an obsfucated code contest than the Linux kernel as trying to understand even just a few places requires jumping through tons of helpers with misleading names and spread over various files. > The consideration is simply because iget_locked performs better > than iget5_locked. In what benchmark do the differences show up? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
