From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: linux/bitmap.h: remove redundant uses of small_const_nbits() In the _zero, _fill and _copy functions, the small_const_nbits branch is redundant. If nbits is small and const, gcc knows full well that BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) is 1, so len is also a compile-time constant (sizeof(long)), and calling memset or memcpy with a length argument of sizeof(long) makes gcc generate the expected code anyway: #include <string.h> void a(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0, 8); } void b(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0xff, 8); } void c(unsigned long *x, const unsigned long *y) { memcpy(x, y, 8); } turns into 0000000000000000 <a>: 0: 48 c7 07 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,(%rdi) 7: c3 retq 8: 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) f: 00 0000000000000010 <b>: 10: 48 c7 07 ff ff ff ff movq $0xffffffffffffffff,(%rdi) 17: c3 retq 18: 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 1f: 00 0000000000000020 <c>: 20: 48 8b 06 mov (%rsi),%rax 23: 48 89 07 mov %rax,(%rdi) 26: c3 retq Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180818131623.8755-4-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Yury Norov <ynorov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/bitmap.h | 24 ++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) --- a/include/linux/bitmap.h~linux-bitmaph-remove-redundant-uses-of-small_const_nbits +++ a/include/linux/bitmap.h @@ -214,33 +214,21 @@ extern int bitmap_print_to_pagebuf(bool static inline void bitmap_zero(unsigned long *dst, unsigned int nbits) { - if (small_const_nbits(nbits)) - *dst = 0UL; - else { - unsigned int len = BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(unsigned long); - memset(dst, 0, len); - } + unsigned int len = BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(unsigned long); + memset(dst, 0, len); } static inline void bitmap_fill(unsigned long *dst, unsigned int nbits) { - if (small_const_nbits(nbits)) - *dst = ~0UL; - else { - unsigned int len = BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(unsigned long); - memset(dst, 0xff, len); - } + unsigned int len = BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(unsigned long); + memset(dst, 0xff, len); } static inline void bitmap_copy(unsigned long *dst, const unsigned long *src, unsigned int nbits) { - if (small_const_nbits(nbits)) - *dst = *src; - else { - unsigned int len = BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(unsigned long); - memcpy(dst, src, len); - } + unsigned int len = BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(unsigned long); + memcpy(dst, src, len); } /* _
