Lets inline it, such that we can save the function call overhead. (akpm: this is cosmetic - the compiler already inlines vmacache_valid_mm()) Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@xxxxxxx> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/vmacache.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN mm/vmacache.c~mm-vmacache-inline-vmacache_valid_mm mm/vmacache.c --- a/mm/vmacache.c~mm-vmacache-inline-vmacache_valid_mm +++ a/mm/vmacache.c @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ void vmacache_flush_all(struct mm_struct * Also handle the case where a kernel thread has adopted this mm via use_mm(). * That kernel thread's vmacache is not applicable to this mm. */ -static bool vmacache_valid_mm(struct mm_struct *mm) +static inline bool vmacache_valid_mm(struct mm_struct *mm) { return current->mm == mm && !(current->flags & PF_KTHREAD); } _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx are mm-vmacache-inline-vmacache_valid_mm.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
