It makes some things a bit bigger, makes some a bit smaller: __iov_iter_get_pages_alloc dcr 0x331 -> 0x32a -0x7 _copy_from_iter dcr 0x36e -> 0x36a -0x4 _copy_from_iter_flushcache inc 0x359 -> 0x36b +0x12 _copy_mc_to_iter dcr 0x3a7 -> 0x39b -0xc _copy_to_iter inc 0x358 -> 0x359 +0x1 copy_page_to_iter_nofault.part.0 dcr 0x3f1 -> 0x3ef -0x2 csum_and_copy_from_iter dcr 0x3e8 -> 0x3e4 -0x4 csum_and_copy_to_iter inc 0x46a -> 0x46d +0x3 dup_iter inc 0x34 -> 0x39 +0x5 fault_in_iov_iter_readable inc 0x9b -> 0xa0 +0x5 fault_in_iov_iter_writeable inc 0x9b -> 0xa0 +0x5 first_iovec_segment inc 0x4a -> 0x51 +0x7 import_single_range dcr 0x62 -> 0x40 -0x22 import_ubuf dcr 0x65 -> 0x43 -0x22 iov_iter_advance inc 0xd7 -> 0x103 +0x2c iov_iter_alignment inc 0xe0 -> 0xe2 +0x2 iov_iter_extract_pages dcr 0x418 -> 0x416 -0x2 iov_iter_init dcr 0x31 -> 0x27 -0xa iov_iter_is_aligned inc 0xf3 -> 0x108 +0x15 iov_iter_npages inc 0x119 -> 0x11a +0x1 iov_iter_revert inc 0x88 -> 0x99 +0x11 iov_iter_single_seg_count inc 0x38 -> 0x3e +0x6 iov_iter_ubuf new 0x39 iov_iter_zero inc 0x34f -> 0x353 +0x4 iter_iov new 0x17 Adding an extra patch to get rid of the bitfields and using a u8 for the type and bools for the flags makes very little difference on top of the above: __iov_iter_get_pages_alloc inc 0x32a -> 0x32f +0x5 _copy_from_iter inc 0x36a -> 0x36d +0x3 copy_page_from_iter_atomic.part.0 inc 0x3cf -> 0x3d2 +0x3 csum_and_copy_to_iter dcr 0x46d -> 0x46a -0x3 iov_iter_advance dcr 0x103 -> 0xfd -0x6 iov_iter_extract_pages inc 0x416 -> 0x417 +0x1 iov_iter_init inc 0x27 -> 0x2d +0x6 iov_iter_revert dcr 0x99 -> 0x95 -0x4 For reference, I generated the stats with: nm build3/lib/iov_iter.o | sort >a ... change... nm build3/lib/iov_iter.o | sort >b perl analyse.pl a b where analyse.pl is attached.
