[PATCH][resend][SCSI] Reduce number of sequential pointer derefs in scsi_error.c and reduce size as well

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

 



Hi everyone,

This is the fourth time I send this patch. For some reason it seems unable 
to get any feedback at all. I'd really appreciate a clear ACK or NACK on 
it and I'll keep resending it until it's either merged or I get a NACK 
with a reason.
It is fairly trivial, so I'm naturally hoping for ACK+Merge (I really 
would like to just get it out of my queue), but if that doesn't happen 
please let me know why not.

This time around I've chosen to broaden the Cc list quite a bit in the 
hope of getting some sort of feedback from someone (previously it was 
just submitted to linux-kernel, linux-scsi and the SCSI maintainer).

The patch was previously submitted on
	24 April 2008
	27 April 2008
	14 November 2010


This patch reduces the number of sequential pointer derefs in 
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c (and also removes a bit of trailing whitespace 
this time around since I got fed up with it and thought that perhaps that 
would help trigger a response - if nothing else then just a "do that in a 
separate patch" would be an improvement).

It's on top of Linus' git tree as of just now (HEAD is at 
2d42dc3feb6649c0e08641b0a6f0e0bad22aeeb2)

The bennefits are:

 - makes the code easier to read. Lots of sequential derefs of the same 
   pointers is not easy on the eye.

 - theoretically at least, just dereferencing the pointers once can allow 
   the compiler to generate slightly faster code, so in theory this could 
   also be a micro speed optimization.

 - reduces size
   before:
   	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   	  11861       6       6   11873    2e61 drivers/scsi/scsi_error.o
   after:
   	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   	  11829       6       6   11841    2e41 drivers/scsi/scsi_error.o

 - gets rid of annoying trailing whitespace.
