Subject: [merged] llist-llist_add-can-use-llist_add_batch.patch removed from -mm tree To: oleg@xxxxxxxxxx,a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx,avagin@xxxxxxxxxx,dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx,ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx,viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:49:39 -0700 The patch titled Subject: llist: llist_add() can use llist_add_batch() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was llist-llist_add-can-use-llist_add_batch.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: llist: llist_add() can use llist_add_batch() llist_add(new, head) can simply use llist_add_batch(new, new, head), no need to duplicate the code. This obviously uninlines llist_add() and to me this is a win. But we can make llist_add_batch() inline if this is desirable, in this case gcc can notice that new_first == new_last if the caller is llist_add().
