The patch titled Subject: kmod: move call_usermodehelper_fns() to .c file and unexport all it's helpers has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kmod-move-call_usermodehelper_fns-to-c-file-and-unexport-all-its-helpers.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: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kmod: move call_usermodehelper_fns() to .c file and unexport all it's helpers If we move call_usermodehelper_fns() to kmod.c file and EXPORT_SYMBOL it we can avoid exporting all it's helper functions: call_usermodehelper_setup call_usermodehelper_setfns call_usermodehelper_exec And make all of them static to kmod.c Since the optimizer will see all these as a single call site it will inline them inside call_usermodehelper_fns(). So we loose the call to _fns but gain 3 calls to the helpers.
