Hello, I wrote:
I'm afraid you are the one who is wrong. The IDE layer is
duplicating a
generic level of indirection with its own code - purely because IDE
pre-dates that core functionality. The whole IDE layer indirection
can go
away because Linux has caught up with the needs of the IDE layer.
What IDE indirection you're talking about anyway?
As I said earlier ide_mm_inb etc via the function pointers
tf_inb/tf_outb
etc.
Ah... at least they don't have additional address checks that
ioread*()/iowrite*() have...
Somehow I was looling at __ide_mm_{ins|outs}*() calls in ide-iops.c
instead... it doesn't help to fix the USB code and argue about IDE at
the same time. :-]
into two different versions of the functions like ide_tf_read as surely
it costs more to call them (in size) than to inline the two for those
functions?
Given how small those functions are it might even be worth rolling them
Indeed.
The calling fucntions aren't that small, so it's again arguable...
