[PATCH v3 0/7] Code cleanup and memory usage reduction

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

 



Patch 1 of this series cleans up libata-transport (avoid forward
declarations and improved kdoc comments).

Patch 2 introduces a small simplification/improvement of
__ata_qc_complete().

Patches 3 and 4 move code that is SATA specific from libata-core.c to
libata-sata.c, without any functional change. The benefits of this code
reorganization is a smaller libata binary size for hosts that do not
support SATA.

Patch 5 renames some functions to make it clearer what the functions do.

Finally, patch 6 and 7 reduce memory usage of libata by:
 - Moving the sector_buf buffer from struct ata_port to struct
   ata_device
 - Agregating CDL related buffers together into a new ata_cdl structure
   and referencing this new structure from struct ata_device only for
   devices that support CDL.

Changes from V2:
 - Reworked patch 1 to address Hannes' comments
 - Added Hannes' review tags

Changes from V1:
 - Reworked patch 1 to do more cleanups
 - Added patch 6. The former patch 6 of v1 is now squashed into patch 7
 - Added Niklas review tags
