From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: spread likely/unlikely a bit use_pde() is used at every open/read/write/... of every random /proc file. Negative refcount happens only if PDE is being deleted by module (read: never). So it gets "likely". unuse_pde() gets "unlikely" for the same reason. close_pdeo() gets unlikely as the completion is filled only if there is a race between PDE removal and close() (read: never ever). It even saves code on x86_64 defconfig: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/2 up/down: 2/-20 (-18) Function old new delta close_pdeo 183 185 +2 proc_reg_get_unmapped_area 119 111 -8 proc_reg_poll 85 73 -12 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180104175657.GA5204@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/proc/inode.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/proc/inode.c~proc-spread-likely-unlikely-a-bit fs/proc/inode.c --- a/fs/proc/inode.c~proc-spread-likely-unlikely-a-bit +++ a/fs/proc/inode.c @@ -129,12 +129,12 @@ enum {BIAS = -1U<<31}; static inline int use_pde(struct proc_dir_entry *pde) { - return atomic_inc_unless_negative(&pde->in_use); + return likely(atomic_inc_unless_negative(&pde->in_use)); } static void unuse_pde(struct proc_dir_entry *pde) { - if (atomic_dec_return(&pde->in_use) == BIAS) + if (unlikely(atomic_dec_return(&pde->in_use) == BIAS)) complete(pde->pde_unload_completion); } @@ -167,7 +167,7 @@ static void close_pdeo(struct proc_dir_e spin_lock(&pde->pde_unload_lock); /* After ->release. */ list_del(&pdeo->lh); - if (pdeo->c) + if (unlikely(pdeo->c)) complete(pdeo->c); kfree(pdeo); } @@ -421,7 +421,7 @@ static const char *proc_get_link(struct struct delayed_call *done) { struct proc_dir_entry *pde = PDE(inode); - if (unlikely(!use_pde(pde))) + if (!use_pde(pde)) return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); set_delayed_call(done, proc_put_link, pde); return pde->data; _ -- 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
