IMHO this makes readability worse. What's the intention behind this
patch? Is there any difference in binary size or something in the likes?
I doubt so as the compiler should take care of this anyways.
I'm just a casual reader of the RDMA list not an active reviewer, but if
you did this in e.g. SCSI I'd NACK it. Code has to be readable for
humans and that means the less that's done in one line of code the
better. Let the compiler do the optimizations and get rid of local
variables.
Just my 2c.
Byte,
Johannes
