The patch titled Subject: proc: rearrange args has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-rearrange-args.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/proc-rearrange-args.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/proc-rearrange-args.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: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: rearrange args Rearrange args for smaller code. lookup revolves around memcmp() which gets len 3rd arg, so propagate length as 3rd arg. readdir and lookup add additional arg to VFS ->readdir and ->lookup, so better add it to the end. Space savings on x86_64: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-18 (-18) Function old new delta proc_readdir 22 13 -9 proc_lookup 18 9 -9 proc_match() is smaller if not inlined, I promise!
