Subject: [PATCH v3 next] mm/vmscan: __isolate_lru_page_prepare clean up
The function just return 2 results, so use a 'switch' to deal with its
result is unnecessary, and simplify it to a bool func as Vlastimil
suggested.
Also remove 'goto' by reusing list_move(), and take Matthew Wilcox's
suggestion to update comments in function.
I wouldn't mind if the goto stayed, but it's not repeating that much
without it (list_move() + continue, 3 times) so...
I tried that, and .text became significantly larger, for reasons which
I didn't investigate ;)
I found out that comparing whole .text doesn't often work as changes might be lost in alignment, or
once in a while cross the alignment boundary and become exagerated. bloat-o-meter works nice though.
Uh, BTW, with the gcc 8.3.1 and centos 7, goto or continue version has same size
on my side with or w/o DEBUG_LIST. But actually, this clean up patch could
add 10 bytes also with or w/o DEDBUG_LIST.
Maybe related with different compiler?
gcc (SUSE Linux) 10.2.1 20201117 [revision 98ba03ffe0b9f37b4916ce6238fad754e00d720b]
./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmscan.o.before mm/vmscan.o
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-1 (-1)
Function old new delta
isolate_lru_pages 1125 1124 -1
Total: Before=57283, After=57282, chg -0.00%
Not surprising, as I'd expect the compiler to figure out by itself that list_move + continue
repeats and can be unified. The reason for goto to stay would be rather readability (subjective).
Thanks
Alex
