[PATCH 0/4] IB/mthca: Cleanup and optimize a few bitmap operation

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

 



Patch 1 and 2 are just cleanups that uses 'bitmap_zalloc()' and 'bitmap_set()'
instead of hand-writing these functions.

Patch 3 and 4 are more questionable. They replace calls to '[set|clear]_bit()'
by their non-atomic '__[set|clear]_bit()' alternatives.
In both files, it looks safe to do so because accesses to the corresponding
bitmaps are protected by spinlocks.
However, these patches are compile tested only. It not sure it worth changing the
code just for saving a few atomic operations.
So review, test and apply only if it make sense.

Christophe JAILLET (4):
  IB/mthca: Use bitmap_zalloc() when applicable
  IB/mthca: Use bitmap_set() when applicable
  IB/mthca: Use non-atomic bitmap functions when possible in
    'mthca_allocator.c'
  IB/mthca: Use non-atomic bitmap functions when possible in
    'mthca_mr.c'
