The patch titled Subject: maple_tree: local variable 'count' is not necessary has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is maple_tree-local-variable-count-is-not-necessary.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/maple_tree-local-variable-count-is-not-necessary.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm 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/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: maple_tree: local variable 'count' is not necessary Date: Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:10:53 +0000 'count' is never changed after assignment and it looks a little more direct to use mas->end to locate the offset. Also ma_data_end() returns slot index instead of count. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240831001053.4751-3-richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Liam R.
