The patch titled Subject: lib/string.c: improve strrchr() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lib-stringc-improve-strrchr.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/lib-stringc-improve-strrchr.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/lib-stringc-improve-strrchr.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/string.c: improve strrchr() Instead of potentially passing over the string twice in case c is not found, just keep track of the last occurrence. According to bloat-o-meter, this also cuts the generated code by a third (54 vs 36 bytes). Oh, and we get rid of those 7-space indented lines.
