[PATCH 0/3] Cleanup and optimize a few bitmap operations

[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 is more questionable. It replaces calls to '[set|clear]_bit()' by their
non-atomic '__[set|clear]_bit()' alternatives.
It looks safe to do so because accesses to the corresponding bitmaps are
protected by spinlocks.
However, this patch is compile-tested only. It is not sure that it worth
changing the code just for saving a few atomic operations.
So review, test and apply only if it make sense.

Christophe JAILLET (3):
  RDMA/cxgb4: Use bitmap_zalloc() when applicable
  RDMA/cxgb4: Use bitmap_set() when applicable
  RDMA/cxgb4: Use non-atomic bitmap functions when possible
