The patch titled
Subject: dio: inline the complete submission path
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
dio-inline-the-complete-submission-path-v2.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: dio: inline the complete submission path
Add inlines to all the submission path functions. While this increases
code size it also gives gcc a lot of optimization opportunities in this
critical hotpath.
In particular -- together with some other changes -- this allows gcc to
get rid of the unnecessary clearing of sdio at the beginning and optimize
the messy parameter passing. Any non inlining of a function which takes a
sdio parameter would break this optimization because they cannot be done
if the address of a structure is taken.
Note that benefits are only seen with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING and
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE both set to off.
This gives about 2.2% improvement on a large database benchmark with a
high IOPS rate.
