The patch titled Subject: rbtree: break out of rb_insert_color loop after tree rotation has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was rbtree-break-out-of-rb_insert_color-loop-after-tree-rotation.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michel Lespinasse <walken@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: rbtree: break out of rb_insert_color loop after tree rotation It is a well known property of rbtrees that insertion never requires more than two tree rotations. In our implementation, after one loop iteration identified one or two necessary tree rotations, we would iterate and look for more. However at that point the node's parent would always be black, which would cause us to exit the loop. We can make the code flow more obvious by just adding a break statement after the tree rotations, where we know we are done. Additionally, in the cases where two tree rotations are necessary, we don't have to update the 'node' pointer as it wouldn't be used until the next loop iteration, which we now avoid due to this break statement.
