In pseudo-source-code, the structure of the code is as follows: if ((!A || B) && (!C || D)) { . . . } else { if (!C || D) {//if this is true, it implies: (A == true) && (B == false) if (A) {//hence this always evaluates to 'true'... . } . //at this point, C always becomes true, because of: __rb_rotate_right/left(); //and: other = parent->rb_right/left; } . . if (C) {//...and this too ! . } } Signed-off-by: Wolfram Strepp <wstrepp@xxxxxx> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- lib/rbtree.c | 14 ++++---------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff -puN lib/rbtree.c~lib-rbtreec-optimize-rb_erase lib/rbtree.c --- a/lib/rbtree.c~lib-rbtreec-optimize-rb_erase +++ a/lib/rbtree.c @@ -163,17 +163,14 @@ static void __rb_erase_color(struct rb_n { if (!other->rb_right || rb_is_black(other->rb_right)) { - struct rb_node *o_left; - if ((o_left = other->rb_left)) - rb_set_black(o_left); + rb_set_black(other->rb_left); rb_set_red(other); __rb_rotate_right(other, root); other = parent->rb_right; } rb_set_color(other, rb_color(parent)); rb_set_black(parent); - if (other->rb_right) - rb_set_black(other->rb_right); + rb_set_black(other->rb_right); __rb_rotate_left(parent, root); node = root->rb_node; break; @@ -200,17 +197,14 @@ static void __rb_erase_color(struct rb_n { if (!other->rb_left || rb_is_black(other->rb_left)) { - register struct rb_node *o_right; - if ((o_right = other->rb_right)) - rb_set_black(o_right); + rb_set_black(other->rb_right); rb_set_red(other); __rb_rotate_left(other, root); other = parent->rb_left; } rb_set_color(other, rb_color(parent)); rb_set_black(parent); - if (other->rb_left) - rb_set_black(other->rb_left); + rb_set_black(other->rb_left); __rb_rotate_right(parent, root); node = root->rb_node; break; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from wstrepp@xxxxxx are lib-rbtreec-optimize-rb_erase.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
